So yesterday afternoon I met up with 진희 again and together we headed to Olympic Park in Seoul to check out an display of the “Buddy Bear” statues. These are bear statues created by artists around the world. After a fairly lengthy stroll through the park (neither of us has a great sense of direction), we came across a pretty large fountain, before hitting the Buddy Bear display.
After doing our duty and snapping some pictures at the fountain, we moved on to the actual display. If you want to see more pictures of insane looking bears check out my Flickr account. As I’m too lazy to post the insane number of pictures I took more than once.
After checking out the bears, we wandered about the park talking about this and that, and generally enjoying each other’s company. After a few hours of wandering around the park, until it was time for dinner. 진희 suggested that we have 김치찌개. Sounds good to me. “It’s really specially 김치찌개…the 김치 has been aged for three years.”
“Three years? Well…I’ll try anything once.”
So we head over to this restaurant to eat three year old food. To say the place was jammin’ would be an understatement. There were insanely long lines, yet somehow we didn’t have to wait at all. So we were seated and ordered up two bowls of 3 year old 김치찌개. Within a minute the food was on our table, ready to be eaten. Inspite of my initial misgivings, the 3 year old 김치찌개 was fantastic! The kimchi itself (which was presented among the 반찬) was much more sour than your standard issue (not 3 year old) kimchi, but it too was awesome.
After the meal, we decided to go for a walk around a lake located nearby. So in the cool fall evening air, we strolled along the side of this lake, before bidding each other farewell until next time.
Are you going out with Jinhee?

Yeah I was going to say either you broke up with Yurim or she is a hell of a lot more understanding than my girlfriend. My girlfriend freaked out when I went to the gym last night without telling her.

Joel, it sounds like your girlfriend has a little 반미 thing of her own going: she strongly 반대s your hanging out with other 미인s. ^^
Was that too lame?

No way man that was punny. Puns are in this season. Unfortunately it would be the same hanja as the other banmi. How are we going to avoid confusion?

Maybe we could give the 美 a more curvy (coke bottle) figure.
