One of the best things about travelling is having some food experience in different places. Have you tried eating raw octopus? Come to South Korea where you can find this as a local delicacy. It was also in the same place where I had my first taste of kimchi. A Korean dish made of vegetables, such as cabbage or radishes that are salted, seasoned, and stored in sealed containers to undergo lactic acid fermentation. The smell was really terrible, and it tastes weird to me maybe because I find it too spicy and yeah, I can’t stand the smell. But then Koreans cannot live without it and to be fair to them, the food is really nutritious. This actually saved them from the deadly SARS virus and keeping them from getting the H1N1 virus as well. Experts say spicy food can actually strengthen our immune system causing us less to get ill.
