Winter Kimchi
Kimchi, the uniquely pungent mixture of fermented vegetables, is a superbly palate-pleasing kimchi to delight every taste. A global favorite, kimchi is a food that adds zest to all kinds of meals and its appeal cuts across all social, economic, ethnic and geographical boundaries. You see the poor and the rich consuming it in Korea, whether its Gwangju, Jeongju, Seoul or Pusan. Its everywhere. Kimchi adds zest to all goods. Kimchi is an excellent contributor to the human body. You just need to visit most male toilets to find out. People leave testament of unflushed long coils of sausages. The length is absolutely amazing.

Yonsei University collaborated with KT&G (Korea's one and only tobacco company) to organise a Gimjang (winter making) event to make kimchi to distribute to needy children and monks.

Cabbage and gochujang sauce in bags. Cabbage bags. The ajummas volunteers who are working on it. We got a hang of it after a while but our production speed was much slower than the ajummas.

No points for guessing what we had for lunch. Kimchi with pork. Kimchi really goes well with anything..no matter how bad the main/side dish is. Look at Ariyo's painful expression, lol.

The international group. Well..actually we were the only students that were helping out. Btw the girl with the white cap is a looker. Shes thai and hotter than kimchi. Damn hard to concentrate on making kimchi. Ha.

After a while, two broadcasting stations came and needed to grab some international students for their interviews, so Tomoyo and me was 'arrowed' to do the interviews.

However, if u watch the clip, you wouldn't see my interview because I think they cut my portion. -.- Wa lao. But I was featured in the other stations' broadcast just that I am unable to find any online clip. In this one, you can see me faking the kimchi making process for the camera though. Haha. Btw this post is super backdated, I'm getting lazier to blog...
