Wow, real vegetarian? That's great.
I am not a vegetarian, but I truly dislike the majority of meat food. I think I can only enjoy hamburgers because they somewhat don't resemble meat.
But I am seriously thinking in trying to become a vegetarian some day.

And in Korea you can manage by yourself with only Hangul, right? I mean, the usually don't use Hanja, do they?
