On sunday, I did nothing. I spent the day relaxing. It was wonderful. I did end up meeting with Victoria for an early dinner and to relax at the Soda Star coffee shop. We met at a place that is new to us, that serves cheese bulgogi. Bulgogi is pork or beef that is merinated. Here, it's put into a pan on the table to cook with cabbage, onion, carrote, spicy sauce, and at the last minute, cheese is added. You eat it wrapped in lettuce leaves. It's good stuff. We brough a baguette to make little sandwiches. A complete success, even if it isn't terribly Korean. Who knows, maybe we'll start a trend.
After the meal, we walked across the street to the Soda Star. Now that it's a million degrees out with 300,000% humidity, I've changed to a new drink. It's a frozen drink made from yogurt and strawberries. It's quite tastey. Before going to the restaurant I stopped to get a deck of cards. I thought we could play some rummy while relaxing at the coffee shop. My corner shop had a deck, they wanted $10 for it. I went to 7-11 and bought a deck of cards for $6! Can you believe it? If you want to make a fortune, think playing card imports into Korea. Anyway, it was a great time in Soda Star. Here are some shots of the interior of the coffe shop. The owner's wife painted everything on the walls.
