Kimchi, not for me

This is Christine (Chung-Un is her Korean name), one of my greatest friends here. Her birthday was on Tuesday, and I didn't even know about it until today. We went out for lunch and I gave her a crap gift. But the point is that I love her a lot. She's Korean-Korean but speaks English so well I forget that. Today at the restaurant, she just busted out speaking Korean to the waitress, and I was temporarily surprised. I had forgotten again. Anyway, she's amazing. She offered to help me with the whole moving enterprise that is coming soon (and was, until the moment she offered her assistance, absolutely terrifying). She's great. We had a good time together today.
