Breakfast at the Korean hotel was roughly US$42 per day.
That is a lot even if the company is picking up the check. We did not have a
lot of time in the mornings so I ended up eating there most mornings. The
selection of food was very good. A lot of choices including, salad greens,
broccoli salad, bean salad, sushi, sirloin steak, barbeque chicken, barbeque
fish, scrambled eggs, made to order omelets, fresh fruit, breads, pastries,
cereal, and other things were available in a buffet.
The Japanese breakfast is less expensive at about US$32 per
day. I have not tried it yet. In the evening when we return from working and
arrive at the hotel we visit a 7-11 and stock up on some food for the next
morning and some ice cream for dessert.
Last night I tried green tea ice cream thinking it might be
decent. It is not. I did not like it at all. I asked around today and the quality of the ice cream depends on the restaurant. Maybe I should not pass judgement since I purchased it from a convenience store (even though the brand was a very well known company with the initials HD). I also purchased a salad and a
sandwich for breakfast today.
On the first night, the clerk at the store gave me a small spoon
for the ice cream and a fork for the salad. The second night I received a small
spoon for the ice cream and some chopsticks for the salad. I can use chopsticks
with salad, that is not a problem but I was surprised by the change. Maybe they
ran out of forks. Last night I returned back to the room and ate the ice cream
with the small spoon provided and put the sack containing the salad and
sandwich into the refrigerator for the night.
This morning I woke up and went to the gym to run on a below
average treadmill. Then I returned to my room and ate breakfast while I was
cooling off before the shower. I was fine with the sandwich but I had a little
problem eating the salad. This time they did not give me a fork or a set of
chopsticks. I was left to forage for utensils to eat within the room. Here is
the only thing I could find:
It is a spoon for use in the tea service that sits in the room.
It is slightly undersized based on a normal teaspoon from the USA. Here watch
me try to eat with this bad boy…

On a side note I think safety in the workplace is one of the
most important things. We don’t want to become injured during work especially when
there are so many ways to become injured outside of work. I’m not sure if this
qualifies as an unsafe work environment and it might not look to bad from the
picture.
What you don’t realize is that the white and orange adapter does not
fit into the plug very well and with slight movements the power goes off or on.
Plus the extension cord is not grounded. I haven’t heard any electric arcing
yet. I’m holding my breath when we leave for break and we move the table a
little…
Safety first… or as in Dirty Jobs… safety third.
I have taken a lot of pictures with my phone that I would
love to put up here but since I have a dumb phone, I have no way to get the
pictures from my phone to my computer. I will put them up after I return to the
USA…
