chris, david and i went into seoul on saturday. we took the bus instead of the train, which had initially intimidated me a bit but, this time i was convinced that i think i actually like the bus better. instead of leaving once an hour (or less), the bus leaves every 20 minutes. plus, it takes you right to Techno Mart which is this mammoth mall of techie everything plus food courts and movie theater and enough to entertain you for a day.
so, we spent a few hours looking at dvds than determined that we would come back after some time around the city to watch a movie.
i found what was said to be "the best mexican restaurant in seoul" (a different mexican place than i went to a few months ago) and so we decided to check it out. Dos Tacos did not disappoint. The only slightly awkward thing about it was that it was about 90 americans eating there. not a bad thing, just a bit uncomfortable considering that, for some reason, we americans tend to ignore each other in seoul. very strange. but, worth the sacrifice because, i got a burrito that did not disappoint. it was fresh and authentic in taste and, probably due to the excessive amount of americans, i had to pinch myself to if i was really still in korea.
we headed back to Techno Mart, to watch "Street Kings" (good movie, by the way) and ate at a "Italian Bistro" before catching the train back to Yangpyeong. Italian Bistro was a stretch for a name, we all ordered ridiculously expensive chili fries and noticed half way through eating that there was a big mural of Germany on the wall. But, i suppose if you live in Asia, you're allowed to clump Italy and Germany into one generic pile.
but the day was good, really fun and relaxing and, were it not for the koreans around i could have thought-maybe- that i was somewhere else entirely.
