My boss took me out for lunch the other day. The choices were salad buffet or pizza buffet. Being a fan of  pizza and a long way away from the nearest decent slice my vote was cast for pizza buffet. And pizza buffet it was. I was not expecting much because this is Korea and pizza buffets in Canada are generally crap so how good could it have been right?

Well, long story short it was pretty damn good. It was not at all what you would have found in a western buffet. There was fresh rasberry smooties, fresh rambutans and leechies, a potato salad made from pumpkin rather than potato (i guess that makes it a pumpkin salad does it not?) and of course pizza. The Pizza was hit or miss but the fresh fruit more than made up for it. I have really not been eating much fresh fruit here because it is expensive. Well at least expensive after spending a year in Thailand and getting a whole fresh pineapple for 40 cents. The were also numerous other things to gorge myself on which I did in spades.

All told it was a wonderful meal that brought me a bit of western food when I have not had any for a long time. Usually I don't miss it all that much but after 8 months a pizza buffet was just what I needed.

Oh and that said, yes it has really been 8months here, that means only four more to go and I will be back inThailand. It is hard to belive that time has gone this fast sometimes. It has been a wonderful journey and I look forward to the next four months of it. I know in some ways it will seem like a long time but in others it will seem way too short.
