Lost in translation.

Ramen noodle soup for me. Whenever I am "American food out", a bowl of steamy Ramen noodle soup can always put my stomach at ease. I remember 3 months after I came to America, mk took me to northern Michigan, where we spent an entire week in a cottage with his family. Three days past by, I started freaking out with the overload of pork roast, beef roast, bacon and so on, since that was the first time I haven't touched Chinese food for days. Not to mention that I am a borderline vegetarian since I don't like meat too much. So we ran to Walmart and bought some instant noodle, that saved my life. After that I am good with pork roast for another 3 days. Now I refuse to co-habitate with them without the instant noodle in my suitcase. It's interesting how our palates evolve, now I can have American food for a long time without a melt-down. I actually enjoy a lot of them now, still not the meaty stuff too much.

Hmmm, that's a strange concept. But I've learned not to impose my own bias against any strange ideas when it comes to food, quite often they are the ones that shockingly please your taste buds.One time I had some pickled shrimp, and pickled stawberries at a local restaurant. I frowned upon the concept before I tried them, but they were abosolutly delicious!! I will give this a try.

Thanks, NotPhil! mk bought bacon yesterday. He is excited to try it, and I am excited to eat it. We'll let you know how it turns out.

I am very impressed. It has a very good dynamic. The background music is perfect. I am a fan now.

It's a cool promotion idea. But I hope it doesn't kill anybody because of its invisibility.

Shin Ramyun is also one of my favorites. You can pretty much find it in every Asian grocery store. I always have some stocked up. Try to drop an egg in the noodlesoup when you cook it next time, it always makes it better. Whenever I am overwhelmed with American food, I always make myself a nice bowl of Ramen noodle soup. There is this most famous brand in China called "Kang Shi Fu", that's my all time favorite, but it's hard to find here.

That is the prettiest ring :)

That is totally my goal. We might have to wait for a couple of years with the kid on the way. But we will try to carry the kid around the world as soon as possible. The hardest one will be Antartica. I've heard that some cruise will take people to the shores of Antartica, and they can have a marathon on the cruise, so that they can tell people they've run a marathon on Antartica.

I don't think it's really about the ring. It's the thought that matters the most.
