Korean dish washing – I don’t think so!

I have complained with many Koreans about how they do the dishes: Under running water, applying soap generously and individually, rinsing each item. My way uses less water and soap, and is a lot faster. Here it is in five easy steps (the little figurine is for dish washing and was a present from a Korean mom who took exception to my complaints :-):

Our water needs to be pumped from the lake to fill the tank – and for that I need to put a hole in the ice. Right now the ice only 20cm thick, but soon it will be 70cm and I will use a motorized ice auger.
