Leaving for Korea next week for our son's wedding!

[Guest guest]

We are very excited to be traveling to Korea next week to attend our son's

wedding. After the wedding, our family will then head to Tokyo for a couple of

days. Of course, there are food issues! Besides the soy sauce and

cross-contact issues, I cannot eat fish or seafood, which is going to limit my

food selection immensely in Asia! I was hoping for some advice if any of you

have traveled to Korea or Japan.

My daughter and I are bringing lots of single packets of g-f soy sauce, salad

dressing, peanut butter and jelly, crackers, bread (my future in-laws were kind

enough to buy us a toaster to use while we are there) and g-f granola bars. It

looks like I will have to stick with simple steamed rice and vegetables and

fruit for most of the trip, and I'm sure I will not waste away in a week! I am

studying the Asian names of dishes so I will know what they are made of, and I'm

sure my future daughter-in-law can interpret if she is with us while we are

dining out. I would like to see if any of you have ordered dishes in these

countries and if there are any Western restaurants in Korea or Tokyo (I have

heard there is an Outback in Tokyo).

Any advice would be most welcomed!
