Hot Porridge Is What I Needed Now...

What I am yearning for now is a bowl of hot porridge like this...
My poor stomach is still tender after a bout of food poisoning that left me weak and tired this morning.  A sleepless night, tossing and turning like a "fried fish" because of stomach cramps.  I thought of taking medical leave today but then I have to take my girl to work, so no point in taking leave when I have to leave the house anyway... life is such, huh...
 Back to my porridge pictures, these were taken on the first morning in Seoul, Korea... we were ushered into a shop which served us porridge and other condiments this early morning...
 It was a very cold winter... everyone hurried to enter the shop for some warmth...
something hot to warm our bodies...
 Part of the condiments to go with white, plain, hot porridge...
 
These are part of the condiments to go with the porridge, fried fish, fried crispy flour and some salted vegetables.  I cannot remember what else because these were the only pictures I took while we were inside the shop.  Perhaps I was too hungry to snap more, cold weather really makes the stomach "growls" louder.  LOL...

Last night my girl and I were having a talk on where to go this year, that is before she enters college.  She was asking me about any trips to the western countries this time round and I thought of mentioning Cancun holidays.  I bet she does not know where this place is....  :)
