Korea Life Blog - David Romance


David Romance, who made a donation to my blog a ways back from Canada (see here, came to Korea to visit his friend and then gave me a call. He's 26 and studying for his MBA back in Toronto and is visiting Korea for a few weeks, then a week in Thailand and another in Tokyo. He wanted some chicken and beer so Julie and I took him to our favorite place near Songnae Station.



Here we are enjoying our huge glasses of beer. The chicken was really good too.

Afterward we took David for his first experience at a DVD bang and he wonders, as do I, why such a concept isn't spreading like a wildfire in our culture. Some have argues that'd be illegal, but I don't see how since you're technically renting the movie...they "bang" is just presenting a comfortable and private place to view the rental. We decided to watch a Korean movie called "Old Boy" which had gotten great reviews but which all three of us thought was terrible, horrendous, atrocious. It was one of the worst movies I've seen in ages. We should have showed him a more traditional Korean movie like Chiburo (The Way Home) or something of that nature. Oh well, we still had a good time.
