South Indian in a hotel basement

On Tuesday a few of the other teachers introduced me to the only source of Indian food around these parts – the Indian food made in a hotel basement which houses the Indian workers from Samsung. Or maybe it's LG... not sure. Anyway, for $8 we got all of the South Indian food we could stuff in, and it was gooooood! The cook is from Pakistan, even though he cooks South Indian food for the Indians at the hotel, and he orders all of his spices in bulk from Pakistan. Maybe someday I'll go over and see if I can buy some off of him, since Turmeric, Chili Powder and Cumin can't be found here. Apparently chickpeas and couscous are also impossible to find. Except perhaps in the foreign areas of Seoul.

After dinner we wandered around our part of Suwon and I got to see the gym where most of the teachers go, and I think I may join for a couple of months while I scout out Taekwondo classes. I was really hoping to keep up with my Yoga, but the only place around here is Hot Yoga and costs about $300/month (unlimited, but still)!

wow, that's really expensive for Yoga...I would keep looking Jaya, it seems like they're trying to rip you off based the limited yoga places there!
