It could be the little black beans in the rice imparting some colour. Not sure. To be fair, I don't know if it's what is normal for Koreans, it's just what the Chinese/Korean cook makes for them here.

It was a weekly paper reporting on the previous "7 days". They increased the frequency but understandably didn't change the name...

Re: You Know You are in the UAE When...
I Decided that everyday is a constant battle and i'm always in the shit , it's just varying degrees of depth , from my ankles to my neck...
Oh and i booked 5 days at the Evisan Spa in Phuket , it didn't solve my shitty day but it made it sweeter that's for sure !
