Last weekend we went out for Korean BBQ for a new teacher's birthday. Afterwards, we hit up a very eclectic joint called "Ethnic Bar". It was so different from anywhere I've been in Korea.
Thursday, the girls went out for a "girls night" which consisted of going to dinner downtown. The restaurant we went to was barely noticeable, I wondered how anyone had discovered it. We had some of the most amazing "bone soup" (I forget the real name of it) and tons of extra food which cost us 6,000 won/each (less than $6). That night, I discovered that the bus is not a 24hr service and ended up taking the taxi back to my uncle's place. Taxis are relatively cheap and quick methods of transportation, but this particular taxi ride was the first time I felt unsafe here in Korea. The taxi driver was super creepy! But it was only my first creeper experience, usually there are several in a day back in the States. Regardless, I'll be wearier next time.
Today, some of the teachers met up for coffee and then headed downtown for dinner. We ate at a restaurant called First Nepal. AMAZING Indian/Nepalese Cuisine is all I can say! I had chicken vindaloo, nan, and soju. SO delicious! The manager/owner/host was so incredibly nice and seemed to love having us there (I think a couple of the teachers are regulars). He was a tubby little Indian man with very animated mannerisms. Every time he spoke to us, I felt tickled because he'd smile so big and speak to us as if we had the power to make everyday christmas.
Afterwards, we headed to the movie theater to watch Shutter Island. It's been a while since I've seen a movie so I got way too into it. I left the movie feeling stressed out! The theater was great though... a great place to escape and have my occasional indulgence of popcorn!!
did you take some home and put it in the fridge?
