The Kin of Amy

So Amy's sister Shannon is here. As well as Joe, Hannah's friend...

We took them to the Chongechyon. First we ate at Chai (a bibimbap joint. it has good cheese veggie bibimbap). Then at the stream we lost sight of Hannah, Amy, Shannon. Joe, Gelli, James, me went to get booze. On the way back it started to rain, sleet, thunder. We tired looking for them but with no avail.

First Sighting: Amy and Kin of Amy: Shannon

Recent Development at Painters

Seth gets his own item on the menu...

So Seth apparently had a conversation with the proprietor of our favorite Donkasu 집 (house). The gist is that now there is a something you can order by the name of Seth's Hawaiian.

In a word: Exemplary


Gist:
Seth: In America we put pineapple and gochu (jalepenos) on pizza
Proprietor: -Silent Skepticism- Really...?
-Later on-
Proprietor: Seth I tried your suggestion of Gochu + Pinapple in donkasu. Its poised to enter the pantheon. Because Seth made it, it shall have Seth in its name.

SETH'S HAWAIIAN DONKASU

The first time at Chongechong...

By City Hall and the Gyeongbokgung Palace, theres this little stream. In the past 20 yrs or so (?) they built up the banks of the stream. It looks very nice, even better at night supposedly. Me and Gelli found it accidentally when we were looking for a showing of some North Korean film.

By the starting point of the Chonggechong, theres a giant conch

Rundown of Places we Like

Episode 3: Over-vealotry

So tonight we will run down three places we like to go. First, Mushroom Restaurant. Its a veggie friendly Shabu Shabu joint. Second, The Painter and Cook, a very good donkasu (tonkatsu) place. Then, the-so-called "Lodge." An underground cafe that serves beer, nice couches, and coffee. Finally, a proper introduction of our favorite 다방. Enjoy..

So we fast forward like a month... 11-18-07

Today we went to our favorite 다방 (cafe). There we drank copious amounts of coffee. The man who works there gives tons of service (freebies). So as you will see later we were strung out on coffee. James and Pat worked on shit on their computers. Me and Gelli drew stuff. After that we headed to our favorite ラーメン (ramen, 라면 아니고...). We witnessed a real 식선수 (Food Player aka eating champion). I asked the かわいいお姉さん who was working there（기옆은누나?) what the deal was. The deal is, you eat a toilet bowl sized ramen serving under 20mins, you eat for free. However, if you can't you have to pay 2만원 ($20, ２０円）After, witnessing a true hero, we witnessed true brutality in the form of Park Chan-Wook's Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. The pictures are telling of the draining ordeal. Enjoy...

Heres the bill for the fight between the Windshield Viper vs Gelika Plasmatic.


... In a word: strung-out

Ramen: 三丁目

Eating! Drinking! Fighting!

... In a word: hero.

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance

In a word: Down trodden...
