I'd love to visit Korea, but I can't eat spicy foods. Is there anything I can eat?
Yes, there certainly is. Not all Korean food is spicy. There are a number of dishes that are quite bland or flavoured without pepper paste. Moreover, in most of the urban areas, you'll find a selection of foreign restaurants (Italian, American, French, East Indian, etc.).
