I completely understand your descision as you don’t want to stretch yourself too thin.

]]> Comment on The True Cost of a Few Dollars by Andrew http://thedailytransit.wordpress.com/2007/07/01/the-true-cost-of-a-few-dollars/#comment-7475 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 08:48:01 +0000 http://thedailytransit.wordpress.com/2007/07/01/the-true-cost-of-a-few-dollars/#comment-7475 Laphet Vs. Kimchee

To answer your question about taste, the two coulld not be more different from one another.
First, Kimchee is make from cabbage, generally something like Bok Choi that is cut and then lightly pressed. Crushed red chilli is added along with some other ingredients and then placed in a pot(sometimes burried) and allowed to ferment. I lived in Korea as a soldier for 18 months and was repulsed by the stuff then. The smell, which is quite strong and often unpleasant permeates the air and quite literly oozes from the skin of the consumer…..which is every Korean. Bad breath and B/O. The kind you find in jars in the US is for the most part the same with fewer of the side efffects. I do enjoy eating it now.
Laphet is made from tea leaves. Picked green and bagged and fermented. I recently visited Myanmar(Burma) and bought some at a market along with lots of smelly fish and other great foods.
My fiancee is from Myanmar and an excellent cook.
Laphet is often mixed with fried peanuts and a large fried bean that are crushed along with tomatos and thinly sliced small red onions and garlic, salt, fresh chopped green chilis and oil.
A little goes a long way and two table spoons makes a plate of rice outstanding.. I love Myanmar food and Laphet is #1 on my list.
Each are quite different but both are excellent foods which are not to be missed.

Bon Appetit

A shame, but of course I completely understand. I’m always amazed at the amount of dedication bloggers like yourself put in every day, so if you will not be putting your work here, I know I’ll find it elsewhere. And I look forward to all of your future writing, wherever it may be.

But I know what you mean about only having 24 hours a day. Even if it were longer, you would still have more things to do than hours of the day… that’s just how life is. I’m glad I get to continue talking to you about your ideas at work. The real problem is when I leave Korea and Yonhap. Well, that’s something I will have to deal with when the time comes. Anyways, I had fun reading your entries from your trip to Japan till now. Maybe I’ll explore some of your past entries too.

I will miss our time together but understand life has given you many options – which is good, great, in fact.
I find that when I read something now, for instance in the NYT, I often say to myself….gosh, that wasn’t well written. Ben writes much better than this guy! So let’s not abandon those remarkable writing talents.

Have so enjoyed your writing, and it has been such a treat for me to share in your life through your prose and poetry. I sure understand not wanting the pressure of posting daily ~ that’s was quite an ambitious undertaking. Am looking forward, though, to continuing to read your marvelous writing, and to seeing how the next chapter unfolds!

I have kept TDT as a tab on my browser and have clicked on it daily looking for the latest from you. I do understand the need to prioritize down to what you can do well and enjoy doing in the time available and still have a “life” but I will miss this contact with you. I know that you will continue your writing and I look forward to seeing what’s next.
