all things that i think are great Korea and beyond…

Garlic

It's a good idea to eat garlic, especially if you are in a foreign country.  There may be bacteria in the food or water that is unfamiliar to your digestive system.  Garlic is anti-bacterial and may help to regulate the bacteria in the gut.

Fortunately it is incredibly cheap here.  For under a dollar you can buy a bag of garlic at Emart, the local grocery store.  Not all food is cheap though.  Before I arrived in Yeosu I read that food was cheap in Korea from a variety of websites.

Fruit and dairy are both expensive.  The quality of the cheese here is abominable though expensive.

Garlic is great off the grill.  Also, I recently purchased lentils on Korea's ebay-like site and made a soup of them with carrots, onions, chickpeas, and seven cloves of garlic.
