Here are the first of a million photos I’ve taken. I have some videos too, but the quality isn’t terribly good — plus the cool ones are were done in a dark night club.
My friends and I found an authentic Pancho’s Mexican Cantina in Itaewon this weekend. It had legit tortillas, guacamole, and most importantly, sombreros. Here I am posing with the token Mexican host (he actually spoke Spanish) and our Korean waitress.
This was one of the bartenders at the NB club in Gangnam. He didn’t speak English, but made up for it with some very strong drinks. This place was pretty damn packed too (I’ll try to put something on Youtube).
Simply put, caca means “shit” in Spanish. While Konglish is en vogue, perhaps Spanorean or something will one day become the lingua franca.
A couple of my students. The one on the right actually spent a number of years in Canada and speaks fluent Canadianese. Oddly enough her younger, hyper brother is in the same class.
Korean toddlers are bar none, some of the cutest kids I’ve seen (rivaling even my young niece and nephew). During the afternoon you can see them running around with their mothers, spreading fuzzy feelings faster than OMG Ponies!
This is fairly self-explanatory. To give you some context, the owners know exactly what it says and the store location is strategically placed along the main road in Itaewon. Brilliant.
