Danged, I haven't had any good Kimchi since I left Korea, Most of the GI's over there didn't want to eat it when they saw how it was made, and found out that they buried it in the ground for months to "cure" or "ferment".
Wish I could get some real Kimchi around here.
As to your car, Why not rent a replacement for a day if it's that important ?
Or try Baking Soda to kill it , then clean it with steam ?
Do you also have access to Mocklie ? ( not sure of spelling), that was the white milky rice, wine type drink that would kick butt.
I also need those sheets of dried seaweed.
and dried little fish, ( they looked more like bait)
