They say you never forget your first time, and I believe that to be true for a good reason. The first experience of anything has a way of carving itself deep into our memory, leaving behind feelings, images, and moments that time struggles to erase. Whether it’s your first love, first heartbreak, first job, or even the first time you tasted a new dish, that initial encounter sets a standard.

It becomes the benchmark against which every similar experience is compared. First experiences are powerful because they shape our expectations, influence our decisions, and sometimes even determine how we approach life in the future. The truth is, you might have many more experiences after the first, but none of them will ever feel quite the same.
My first time experiencing Korea was through Kdrama, then I went on to watch K-pop, I watched their news, and it went on like that, but one thing I can say after experiencing all these things is that I had an impression that they are partly immortal. I have seen so many old people in Korean videos, and the young ones are not even getting old.
I remember asking my sister if Korean people have the secret to eternal youth, and she laughed it off. I don't know if it's because I haven't been to Korea to experience how they age in person, but from what I have seen, I have the impression that they hardly get old.
This is why I am very interested in Korean skincare. Even the old anuties look like they are in their mid-20s or 30s. I wonder if it's the power of makeup, the food they eat, or if there is a different secret they are not telling us.
I have only tried the Korean ramen once, and I can tell you it was nice. I was skeptical about it at first because I didn't know what it was going to taste like. I followed the instructions for the cup ramen, and all I could say was that, if it did not work, I would just try something else, but to my surprise, it came out well and tasted nice.

My first impression of the Korean ramen when I went to Koreatown was, "Will I be able to eat something in this store?" but I was ready to eat anything given to me there because I wanted to review it. I was so engrossed in what I was doing, I didn't even make a video of it. I just followed the instructions, added the spices, and took the first bite, and it tasted so nice. This is something I would try again because the first time I tried it, I enjoyed it, and this has given me the morale to try other Korean dishes.
Thanks for reading. My name is Fashtioluwa.
