Maseok Monday and Tuesday

By Brian Colella on July 2, 2009 8:11 PM | No Comments
So Monday at school I had absolutely nothing to do, even though it wasn't a test day yet (the testing runs Tuesday through Friday) the teacher I am with in my Monday classes borrowed them to do test review, so I just got to sit around in the office all day. I told Tim I wanted to go to the kimbap shop at around 6:30 or 7, and he decided we should meet at the pizza place near his house and then maybe go to a real restaurant, and since Aldrin decided to come into Maseok too we ended up going to get shabu shabu, which Tim described as "Japanese fusion" with a mushroom and vegetable spicy soup to which we added thin slices of dried beef, and then once all that was gone we dumped a big bowl of noodles into the sauce to cook, and after noodles the meal was finished off with some eggy rice. Not surprisingly, this meal also cost us 11,000W each.

After dinner we dropped into a Family Mart to get some beer and ice cream treats, and then headed to Tim's apartment to watch TV. After a few episodes of Peep Show and one of Father Ted (British comedies), we watched a Louis Theroux (British) documentary about gangsta rap that was pretty funny and very interesting. Not really a very interesting night to read about I know, but it is notable because it completed the to-do list of restaurants in Maseok.

Tuesday was the first day of testing, so I did nothing at school except research the extremely evil hornets we encountered on our Cheonmasan hike, and then after school I Skyped with Hilary (at her camp in Minnesota) for a couple hours, taking advantage of the fact that I went home at 1pm because of the test half-day. I know that except for amazingly deadly hornets this post is really not exciting at all, so I'll use it as an opportunity to apologize for being such a lazy blogger and not writing about the past week or so until now, and also for double posting about Cheonmasan and Seoul because I had the pictures uploaded before I had written anything. I promise you, the coming posts about Wednesday and Thursday of this week should be very interesting.
