Today we had Korean class and learned about the alphabet and a few phrases that would be useful. For lunch we ate at a local Korean restaurant. It was a type of soup. Then, we had Korean cooking class at the Soodoo Cooking Institute. We were greeting by chef and teacher Bo-Kyung Park the 3rd generation to own and teach at the institute. They opened the institute in 1965 and it is still family owned and operated. She taught us how to cook two traditional Korean dishes Bulgogi( a beef dish) and Jap Chae(a clear noodle and veggie dish). This was our dinner for the night, we worked in groups of three at cooking stations that had woks, stove tops, a counter and sinks to clean our hands and the food. After dinner some of us went shopping in Myeong-dong. I bought 2 new tops from a popular clothing store called uniqlo .
We all rushed after shopping to try to catch the rainbow fountain off the Banpo bridge above the Han river. Unfortunately, it wasn't running today,disappointment set in but due to the rain that had occurred earlier that day and a flood that occurred near by it wasn't running.
Then came back to the hotel to get some rest. Some others chose to go to the Gangnam district (a wealthy district about a half hour away from Seoul by bus) but this time I chose to go back to the hotel.
The rainbow wasn't running or the Han river wasn't running?
ReplyDeletethey do rainbow lights over the han river, the lights were not running because that day was rainy and a flood had occurred earlier that day.
DeleteIt's actually called the banpo bridge rainbow fountain...
