Merry Christmas everyone!
On Christmas Eve, I met up with my girlfriend who took me to Myeongdong for my Christmas gift. She brought me to a very famous show called "Nanta"
Basically, Nanta is the Broadway show "Stomp!" but set in a kitchen.
The show was combines percussion precision, hilarity, and audience engagement in an intriguing and fascinating way, leaving you smiling, laughing, and clapping along until the very end.
Nanta - which means "crazy beat", is a small ensemble cast consisting of a Restaurant Owner, his Nephew, a Head Chef, Female Chef, and Sexy Male Chef - all very talented and funny.
The story is simple: The chef's have until 6pm to complete the menu - including dishes of bulgogi and mandu (2 of my favorites).
Hwayoung and I were chosen to participate in the show, we went on stage and donned our blue chef hats. While she made mandu with the Female Chef, I worked with the Sexy Chef to keep the beat and stack the steamed mandu in a race against the red team. We won, and they gave us coupons to pick up a Christmas card and a Polaroid of us on stage...it's a very bad picture so I won't post it.But here is a YouTube video of basically the exact same thing I did -- but with less finesse.
It was such a great show that I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul - and would love to go again. Perhaps it could come to a city near you - check out their webpage here:
If you want a better idea of what they do, take a look at the videos below!
