Weekenders

This weekend Joseph and I did some amazing and super fun and exciting things.  We went rock climbing in the DMZ, ate munk fish and live squid until we burst and ..... just kidding. You are not actually allowed to do anything within the DMZ or you would most likely be shot by North or South Korean soldiers.

What we did instead was go to breakfast at a new place our friend Emily told us about called British Pantry.  It is pretty yummy.  We ate there then took the subway back to go to O'World which is a type of theme park/zoo/Cypress Gardens. 

We have been to British Pantry a few times before.  It is pretty yummy.  Their eggs are cooked well and they have non-Korean breakfast sausages which makes it worth it.  If you take the subway to Nonun station you will find it past the restrooms on the left.

O'World was 13,000w per person and 29,000w per person for a day pass (not sure of the differences between the two).  You were able to go to both areas of the park: plant world and the zoo. 
We did not pay to go inside but we walked around the perimeter and were able to see many things as most of the flowers were not in bloom yet.  Carnival type rides and really pretty flower displays which will be shown to a better advantage in a month or so.

We then took the bus back home and exercised, took a walk around our neighborhood and watched a couple of movies.  We went to Dino Meat which is an exceptional Korean BBQ joint.  For 16,000w per person it is all you can eat beef!!, pork, sausage (Korean kind), and assorted side dishes.  Completely worth the price you should go hangry.  Yummy cuts of assorted beef.  It is delicious.  Most foreigners go specifically for the beef just because in a normal Korean BBQ, pork is always available at a decent price.
Beef is very expensive in Korea so people normally do not buy it in the markets unless it is a special occasion.

Sunday, Tiffany is leaving to go to America so we said good bye to her and will see her in 6 weeks upon her return.  Her husband, Joseph and I have a few things on the agenda while she is away such as Lotte World which is a theme park in Seoul. 

Last week, I had dinner with my favorite Korean girls:  Jennifer and Kate.  Their mom asked me if I'd like to go to dinner with them to VIPS (steak and salad bar--Korean style) and so I went.  We shared a steak and had some of the sides offered there but mostly we laughed and pulled funny faces.  It was great.
