Gangnam 1.6



I spent most of the weekend in Gangnam. Gangnam means 'south of the river' and it is actually a very large area but near Gangnam Subway Station there are a lot of restaurants, bars, clubs, and A LOT of people. Usually catching the last bus means standing for 20 minutes but the ride is usually pretty quick. After I finished my classes on Saturday, I went with a couple of teachers and we had some spicy seafood and noodles with some sake at a Japanese style place.
We talked for a while about teaching, the school, and some of the students that we teach. We also had a few bottles of soju which goes really nice with spicy food and hot soup.

I went back again today to meet a few of my students that I taught a while back. They are both working at the same company and are in their mid twenties. At first, it was just the two of us so we had lunch at a Japanese noodle place but actually had a dish that is very popular in Japan. It's a dish with rice with beef on top garnished with a little ginger and those small onions.
I enjoy talking with them. Their English level is pretty high and they're great to talk with. We are hopefully going to get together again soon and either drink some wine or go skiing, or both.
