I need FOOD!!!!

So yea. I am now totally having flashbacks of all those psych classes where we discussed Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Ignoring the fact that I'm a total nerd referencing Psych 101. I think we seriously underestimate the necessity (and frustration that comes along with) not being able to get food. I've been in Korea for 4 days now and I have not really (not at all) mastered the art of ordering Korean food. I really thought this would be the easy part people.
Right now I'm sitting in a PC Bang (and internet cafe, but I think the Korean name is funnier), starving, posting about how annoyed I am about the fact that I'm starving but still refusing to get up and do something about it because of the inevitable frustration that will come from going out (in the cold) and trying to get someone to understand that I just want a dish that has some meat in it. I'm a freaking carnivore here, most of Korea's dishes are mostly meat dishes. You would think it would be simple. Its not. This morning I pointed to a picture of a stew with some seafood stuff in it. It gets to my table and all I got is noodles and veggies. Where was the error in translation. I pointed to a picture. Ok forget it. I'm done ranting. I'm heading out to hunt down some food (at this point it might be easier for them to drop me in the middle of the woods with a makeshift spear a la Lord of the Flies... piggy anyone?). Jeez. I'm horrible. That's it. Hunger has turned me into a cannibal.
I think once I move into my apartment and I have a kitchen things will be a lot easier. Next wednesday. Wish me luck!
