Seafood:(


I've never liked seafood since I was little. The look of it, the smell of it, always grossed me out. I remember in Korea, I was at my grandparents house and we had seafood for dinner. The alive small looking octopus legs were cut into many little peaces, as they move and twist from the white plate. I stared. Grandma had one ready for me, already in her chopstick, moving like a worm.

"Yeji, try this. Its very delicious" She said joyfully. I hesitated. After deciding that I was going to give it a try, I opened my mouth, and in it went. Sticky, gewy, slimy. It stuck on my tongue like glue, and that instant I threw up. Tears exploded from my eyes. From that day on, I've never dared any seafood in my mouth. And of course, never the octopus.

People think korean like seafood, and yes it's true. They expect Koreans, no actually Asians to like seafood. But what I think is that people are different and for me, I dont like seafood. In fact, I hate them.
Sushi, one of the most popular seafood that people like, well I've never tried one. Surprised? Please, dont be. It's me, and I cant change who I am. I would be me forever, the girl who hates seafood.
