Yesterday was probably the most Asian i have been since getting to New York, It almost felt like i was in the Matrix when a De Ja Vu moment happened. Anyways i met up with a couple friends for lunch in K(orean)-town and we ate what looked like a feast! From Japchae to seafood Pajeon, it was pretty fulfilling. Though i must say that the purple rice that came with the meal looked like it was drenched in blueberry juice. When the bill came i was shocked,
ASIAN FOOD IS EXPENSIVE IN NEW YORK. = Not cool.
Going to have to find myself more $$, hope i get this dancing job.
Grabbed Pink Berry after because life without froyo is never a great life. The Mochi was not as fresh and sticky as i wanted it, Hong Kong 1 New York 0! As we left our separate ways, i thought to myself "wow these Princeton and Columbia students really take a lot of crazy subjects." I mean who takes Russian politics for fun!? I don't think reading 6 books and doing a midterm paper for it is exactly my definition of fun, but hey i dance so i can't really judge.
8 pm came round and the people i was meeting up with made plans to go to K-town, which means round 2 for me! I took the exact same subway, crossed the exact same road, walked the exact same distance of 3 blocks and entered a different restaurant called Ms Korea. Tried the Bibimbap which i found was like a Asianized Carbonara/Risotto, very distinct taste with a tich of seaweed. After dinner guess where we decided to have dessert, that's right PINKBERRY.. again. I didn't mind, i even got served the same dude. he didn't recognize me though so that saved some awkwardness. Finally we headed out to sing K in this high tech disco place filled with Soju.
Soju: is a distilled beverage native to Korea. Its taste is comparable to vodka, though often slightly sweeter due to the sugars added in the manufacturing process, and more commonly consumed neat.
Yeah i didn't know what it was either until i just got given it! Got devirginized by Soju.
All in all i felt pretty Asian today, and it felt good.
