KFC vs EET?

Life in Asia is...different. We don't speak the language, so that makes everything just a little bit harder--it's like one big guessing game all the time! Luckily so far nothing major has happened. All I can think of is that we look pretty much like idiots half the time and we've spent money on things at restaurants we didn't mean to buy. Mostly people we interact with are VERY patient with us and we're getting really good at sign language. So on to our KFC story! We had just gone to a Korean session at the Seoul Temple. We barely missed the English session of the month, darn. Afterwards we ran into someone from the States that I knew so we were talking to him for a while and by the time we left we were Hun-gry. We decided to try some traditional Korean food and started out to find a place to eat. However, as mentioned *before* we don't speak, read, or write the language and we forgot that not everybody prints their menus in English. Apparently we were in a more Korean part of town (go figure!), meaning not so touristy and we couldn't find any menus in English. So after searching for a decent priced place that we could figure out what we might be ordering, we reluctantly settled on KFC. (We were really trying to immerse ourselves in the Korean culture and food but it didn't work out--we seriously wanted to.) Hey, KFC has pictures of their food so we could just point and order. So we ordered and um, some things weren't like we thought they'd be. Corn. Pretty basic but really different.

See that "spoon" in the picture. It's flat and came with the corn. We had no idea what it was. We actually had to "ask" (see how handy sign language is) the girl in the table next to us what it was. She showed us how to "open" your "spoon" and we were very excited to be able to use it. We also think they should have those kinds of paper spoons in the States, better for the environment. The spoon was really cool but the corn, not so much. It tasted like wanna be cabbage dressing with corn or something vinegar-y like that. We also noticed this on the wall while we were there:

We couldn't tell if that was KFC in Korean or what but it sure was noteworthy enough for us to take a picture of! It's funny of how such a simple thing of going out to eat at a fast food place can be such an eye opening experience for us of different cultures. However, we did find a couple of things on their menu we wish were on the KFC menus in the States.

Do you have any weird experiences of eating in different countries or states? Do you know any good Korean food that isn't seafood? What country do you think has the best food?
