March 17-18, the last two days of the winter Paralympics. What a whirlwind trip! First off, having the opportunity to see the Olympics was definitely one of the big appeals and part of why we chose Korea to come to and teach. That being said, it became clearer and clearer as we got closer to February that this trip would be a difficult one. The main reasons for this were (1) the transportation to Pyeongchang, which is sort of a remote area, can be a little complicated. Plus tickets for the trains have been super sold out. And (2) the housing situation. There aren't many hotels in Pyeongchang so many people had to get accommodations in neighboring cities/towns.. and we just didn't have the transportation available to deal with this. I guess you could also throw cost into the equation because the hotels were super pricey, but it's the Olympics, so cost probably goes without saying.

Alright we are back with some more snacks! We've tried a lot since our last post, so here are a few highlights: Strawberry Jelly Chewing Dessert ★★★☆ This candy caught my eye because of the addition of "L. paracasei," a probiotic bacteria. Many Koreans drink probiotic shots like Yakult, etc, and it seems to be a popular trend. These were tasty, sort of just tasted like a strawberry gummy. Nothing too exciting. But they are funny because the gummies are shaped like those probiotic shot plastic bottles.  Flavor: Strawberry, citric acid Texture: gummy with sugary coating Tandoori Onion Rings ★★☆☆ Have to say I wasn't a huge fan of these. This was one of those snacks where I had one and then handed the bag to Sam. He says they were good. I don't know, I just can't get used to the strange aftertaste that so many of these snacks have. And yeah, the taste lingers for quite a while.. Taste: Spicy, sweet Texture: Crispy Roasted Squid
