Toothpaste! Don't waste suitcase space!
Directed Audience: If you are moving to South Korea and have read/heard that you should bring your own toothpaste, this message is for you - especially if you are planning to eat traditional Korean meals regularly. I brought mouthwash and several tubes of a variety of my trusted brand, Colgate. I eat lunch with my fellow faculty every weekday. The meals are delicious, sometimes a little spicy and full of meat and veggies. All things I was happy to find, as I had no real experience with Korean food in the states. There are a lot of red pastes mixed into dishes and dark sauces to dip food into. (Coffee is a favorite drink here. Yuck! lol) All things I did not have regularly in my American diet. Example of our daily tasty school lunches Another yummy example Anytime a Korean person has asked if a dish is too spicy or has warned me before eating, I have often found the spice to be lacking and just fine for my tongue. You should know that I do not eat wasabi, Tabasco or any
