She came over, we talked for a while at my place, and then I wanted to take her to one of my favorite restaurant here in Korea. If you like kimchi and cold noodles, then this is the epitome of good food: kimchimariguksu!! Yay!!! Ok, so Liz isn't a huge fan of kimchi yet, so she got veggies and rice...but she tried a little of mine. It blew me away once again to taste the delicious flavors of sesame, cucumber, kimchi, chili sauce, seaweed, and vinegar all in an ice broth with noodles. I could eat it every day and be very content...
After lunch/dinner, we wanted to check out the Doctor Fish Cafe which is also in Nowon (actually, right above the kimchimariguksu restaurant). Once we got inside, we realized after asking that they don't have Doctor Fish anymore! I was so bummed out!! But, we decided to make the most of the time we had together, and went to walk around Nowon Culture Street. I've been there many times, but it's nothing special. Just lots of little shops and restaurants. Our mission was to find ice cream...Our mission was deterred by a group of people standing around, so we went to check it out. It was an outside noraebang (karaoke)! Haha! It was so funny watching people sing, some good and some pretty bad...
As we walked along a little farther, there was a man wearing white from head to toe. Clothes, make-up, and everything. He was a mime, but one of those mimes who could be a statue if you don't watch closely. Fun to watch the kids walk up to him.
More singing came down the road, and following the sound, we first saw a magic show (which was really, really lame and very politically incorrect) and decided to keep walking. When we finished walking and came back to that same place, there were 6-7 guys who were lock and popping (a style of break-dancing)! It must have been some sort of talent show or something. There were tv crews around, and lots of Nowon City information people. The guys were actually really good, and then afterward were 3 women who were doing an electric violin/cello concert with dancing. I'm pretty sure it wasn't them really playing, but if it was, they were pretty amazing!!When we got back to the main road, we decided to stop by a cafe called "Can More" that had swinging chairs. So inside, we ordered drinks (which came with a basket of free bread) and sat down by the window watching everyone walk by. It was fun to just relax and sit on a porch swing inside. It was obviously a couple place, but it was fun to be with Liz for the afternoon and night.
Haha :) Prappaccino...
