Bungalow

For a friend's hen party who were mentioned yesterday's post, we gathered for dinner and drinks. We hit the bar "Bungalow" and there were chairs and swings hung from the ceiling and sand on the floor.

Wedding Invitation

Two days ago I got a wedding invitation from a friend of mine who's getting married next Sat and I thought it'd be great for me to show you this. When I saw this invitation in the first place, I couldn't help but smile with this typical picture of mandarin ducks which are known as a symbol of conjugal harmony. (Recently, I read from a book, however, the male mandarin duck is not actually loyal to its partner and I don't know why they are picked up for that symbol.) This picture of birds has a nice meaning but it's a kind of old fashion and immediately my friend said it was not them but the bride's dad who chose this design and it made her so embarrassed.:) Regardless of the picture on the wedding invitation, I bet they will look fantastic on their wedding day. As they will have the Korean traditional wedding, I'm really looking forward to it.

Rice Steamed in Bamboo

Rice is a main dish for Korean and there are various ways to cook it. This one is steamed in the big piece of bamboo cut, including pieces of jujube, ginkgo nut and charcoal. And what you see on the pan are sliced beef and garlic. What a good food! (I think I should avoid posting any further food and restaurant stuff for the time being.^-^)

Thai Restaurant

As I earlier mentioned, Itaewon is a foreign quarter in Seoul so there are lots of various restaurants from almost all over the world. Tonight I went for Thai food and the restaurant had an interesting name, 'Buddha's Belly.' However, I didn't see that body part of Buddha's there, only faces.

Irish Coffee

Since I joined Irish Association of Korea as a liaison officer last December, I've had lots of Irish company in Seoul. One night we gathered for a committee dinner, and before heading to grub, we stopped at a cafe to wait for stragglers. In the meantime, one guy brought some miniature bottles of Jameson sponsored and these Irish lads immediately began to make Irish coffee with the whiskey. :)

Coffest

I hardly drink coffee but do like the smell and a good place for coffee. Cafe, 'Coffeest' aims the best quality coffee so they put the superlative suffix '-est' after coffee. What's your favourite cafe in your city?

Sailing Yacht in Han River

Since 5 working days has become more common in Korea(most of us used to work on Sat until 90's), the way we enjoy our weekend has changed accordingly. Today I was invited to a yacht club in Han River and it was really interesting and also relaxing. Do you do any outdoor activities?
