I have moved to Seoul. Much more to come on this blog........
Seoul is actually quite warm still and as I exhibit signs of this (sweating profusely) most Korean people I see are not sharing my discomfort.
Fact: Korean people have 75% less sweat glands than Americans.
Fact: 50% of Korean people don't even have the gland (apocrine glands) that causes body odor. They are among the least odor-producing people on Earth.
What seems to be fact: Kimchi (pickled cabbage), a common side dish in Korea, is the strongest smelling food in the entire world.

Hey, I'm so glad you made it there safely. I hope you have time to blog a lot too. I'm excited to hear about your adventures there. Stammi bene bella. Ci sentiamo!
What a fun adventure! Kimchi is not a favorite of mine, but all the other food it super good! Enjoy it! I think the reason why Koreans dont have body order like Americans, is beacuse they are healthier & their food isn't as greasey & everything. Such great people!
Steph!!! We want to know everything going on. Lots of pictures too! We love you
I'm excited to hear more!! Eck--I DEFINITELY have the sweat gland!! Too funny that they don't sweat as much?!
