@Ida: Thanks so much for your lovely comment, Ida! =-) Wow– 3.5 years. Now is the perfect time to return to Korea. It’s starting to change a bit and upgrade itself to becoming a bit more western friendly. Within the past year, things in Daegu have gone from ALL hangul to a bit more English. More English speakers are being brought into Korea, hence, the change. Never tried Dangam. I guess that’s something new to look forward to experiencing!

I miss Korea so much. I spent 3.5 years there from spring 2006 til fall 2009 (courtesy of my now ex in the Army). We lived in Daegu, which was difficult at first but once I learned to navigate and not be leary of the newness. I loved it.
I have one year (credits wise) to finish my bachelor’s degree, then my great hope is to return to Korea as an English teacher. I’ve completely enjoyed reading many of your stories and it gives me renewed hope. I was beginning to give up because the economic situation I found upon my return to the States is crushing at best (especially having been a sahm for 17 years).
Really you need to get dangam that is dark orange and firm to experience it properly…..wish I had one now. If you buy them kinda orange and hard….put them in a paper sack or wrap them in newsprint (not in the fridge) and let them ripen. Pure heaven. 🙂

@Laura: Yeah, the persimmons aren’t my favorite. They’re not as sweet as I thought they’d be.
@joshy: “Interesting” nummy, sometimes.:-)
@Anna: less sweet than Korea?

I never liked persimmons or Korean pears before this year, but my wife works with a government agency that helps Korean farmers, so we have gotten a few free boxes of apples, pears, and persimmons. I used to hate persimmons, but they are nice on salads with walnuts.
