This weekend wasn't too eventful, but still fulfilling. Friday, I met Hwayoung for dinner with some of her closest friends. They were so nice, and they seemed to like me as well. (friends approving of your boyfriend or girlfriend is always important). We decided to get galbi (BBQ), and her best friend Min-young and her boyfriend Song-un came as well as her friend/co-worker Chang. They even referred to me as their "hyun-nim" (other brother) and "awoo" (younger brother). It made me smile.
Saturday was pretty dull, but Hwayoung and I decided on seeing a movie and getting Indian food. (yum). We saw New York, I Love You. (we didn't have many choices of movies that were in English). The trailer looked fairly good and it had an amazing group of actors and directors, but it was incredibly long and boring and didn't have much of a point to it besides showing the different ways people can love one another. (and it takes place in a city that I pretty much can't stand -- basically because of the stupid Yankees).
Sunday, we went to lunch at Bennigan's at the COEX Mall in Samseong. I hadn't had Western food in a while, so chowing down on a chicken and beef quesadilla was a nice treat. -- yes, they have Bennigan's in Korea.
While at COEX, we planned on going to the COEX Aquarium. It's not exactly cheap, but it was pretty nice, and had a lot of interesting sea life for being located in an underground mall.
Fish in funny places....
Here are some super short videos I took:
Our new friend the stingray...he waved at us.
Cute Harbor Seals playing.
A cute beaver enjoying his healthy dinner.

Overall, it was a relaxing weekend, and we had a good time with the 3 F's - Friends, Food, and Fish!
