Jason’s Travelogue

Seeing as that I am not globe-trotting the way I used to, I have decided to open up a few new lanes of communication regarding other topics.

Specifically, things that are taking up my time at the moment. I will write about my attempts at cooking. How long this will go for I don’t know; I may simply give up and start ordering out again. I will be trying my hand at some Indian food. The Indian diet just so happens to align with my current tastes for the moment.. and I love curry.

I will also try to write about American and global economies. It’s an exciting time to be an economist, and there is so much raw data to analyze and financial stories to read that I’m actually overwhelmed and have to be picky about what I read. My main sources will be the online editions of the Economist, New York Times, and whatever financial market/biography I happen to be reading, like the one on Ben Bernanke that I am reading now.

Lastly, I will write more about living here. I haven’t wrote about my job here for a while, and any new or old exciting experiences. There a few new things that I will start writing about, which I believe will be good for me to get down on paper, figuratively speaking.

I’ll leave you with a tidbit- my new committment while here! To an old love, bball.

The First Annual CNA Invitational

Hello!

So I’ve decided to try to eat healthier. I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, and putting it into practise intermittently the past few years.

I actually have some surplus cash + the time to shop around and cook. I thought about being straight up vegan, but that only lasted about two weeks when I was back home and my mom was there to rely on for food. Besides, being a Korean vegan is unheard of. My dad looked at me like I was crazy when he saw my plate of vegetables, and asked me why he suddenly had a rabbit for a son.

So now I eat mostly vegetables (no onions! mostly carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes), fruits, nuts, whole wheat grains (trying to avoid white bread/rice), eggs, yoghurt, tofu, and my favorite, FISH. I love fish. I eat raw fish, cooked fish, baked fish, fried fish, deep fried fish. It tastes so good and cats like it, so it must be healthy.
