Ugh! My nutrition in Korea is TERRIBLE!

I feel disgusting and sickly here in Korea. The air is aweful and I have no cooking opportunites, seeing as all I have is 2 burners, 2 pots, and a mini fridge. The fruit and veggies here taste kinda gross sometimes- flavorless and lacking. And expensive!

As a result, I pretty much only eat things to fill my stomach and just barely make it by- and end up getting sick all of the time! I used to be able to eat the Korean food but have had stomach problems the last month and a half so I have been unable to eat anything spicy, with caffeine, or fatty. That pretty much limits me to eating..... nothing in this country!

I am going to be sooooo hungry when I finally come back to the United States!

I am happy to say that I have found translation for nutrition information of pre-packaged foods from Korean to English. Hooray! Now I will know just how much fat is in the food I eat!
