Sports & eating

To begin making some progress on my plan of losing some weight in Korea, I decided just eating Korean style might not suffice to do the trick - especially with all the Dunkin Donuts and ice cream places around. So we decided to go swimming in the sports center on campus, wich is a rather impressive ellipsoidal building. However, our attempt was hindered by the fact, that you had to wear a swim cap to enter. Luckily, such a large sports facility includes a little store selling such things. I also figured you might enjoy the beauty of it as much as the others, so I put a picture of me & Steffi wearing the forsaken thing.
Also, I decided to give a little insight on how in the world we manage to order food in the restaurants here, because waitors and waitresses aren't usually the most skilled in English and neither are we in Korean. Also, do not believe that all menus are translated - this is only the case in the bigger ones or in the tourist areas. Most contain English titles and advertisements here and there, but that is usually it. Luckily, Koreans love pictures and show cases. So in front of many upper scale restaurants - but also the school cafeteria - there are usually show cases containing the offered meals. Theses are either aritificial, such as in the picture, or just a plate with the food of the day, such as in the dining hall, where it changes every day. Inside, one may then consult the menus, which usually also contain lots pictures. Whether the fried stuff in the picture represents chicken, shrimp, squid or worse is a slightly more complicated matter, however.
