"good cabbage gone bad" ... heh heh - that was kimchee <laughing
hard> ... did you eat that without rice? If so, then I better keep my

Yep, Oriental Food markets can be a lot of fun. Especially if all
the signs are in Japanese or Korean and no one around speaks decent
English. Eg: "Craa Mee, Sah" (Crab Meat, Sir) . Most of the seafood is
saltwater fish/bivalves plus freshwater trout, salmon, tiliapa etc.
But, I must commend you for being brave enough to try out Korean -
I would not go without a Korean friend along for translation and
interpretation.
