Yes this week I got out and about to work of that pot belly I had been nurturing over the past few weeks eating at all those fantastic places... Well I don't really have a pot belly to get rid of but anyway.So after months of promising that I would go to Guri tower I was lucky enough to be taken there. At 100m tall its not huge but it still looks impressive and especially at night when it is all lit up.
So of course it has a revolving restaurant inside with wonderful comfortable seating and great views of the surrounding cities.
The mains this time consisted of a Carbonara and fish and potatoes and rice. It was lovely and with a free coffee and tea at the end of the meal who could complain. There were live performances throughout the meal so if you wanted a quiet dinner... well you would be better off going somewhere else.
16,000 per main was very good but you could choose the steaks and chicken and be looking at the 30,000 - 40,000 range.
Over all very entertaining and just a fantastic way to spend a weekday evening.
On to Saturday I met my friend and we had lunch at Techno Mart Gangbyeun station where i took these photos of the city.
We then headed off to Seoul to look at the International Lantern Festival that is currently being held there. Thousands of people were there to see lanterns from all over the world; even New Zealand was represented.
You can check out more of the lanterns in the photo dump linked at the end of this post.
From here we went on to see "Return". A theatrical B-Boy dance performance featuring the Gorilla Crew. The performance was not just restricted to the general B-Boy or Popping dance which you may expect. There were some truly masterful displays of highly choreographed dance that were really impressive and going well beyond expectations.
The 90 minute performance was breath taking in parts and some of the displays of physical conditioning to be able to slow motion classic B-Boy moves was impressive to say the least. So if you are into this kind of thing I would suggest heading along to Kaya Art Theatre Chungjeongo Station Exit 7 and have yourself a good night of entertainment.
Here is a photos (yes taking photos is permitted but video is not... as I found out) and a short video of the performance.
As promised here is the photo dump:
Well it seems that this is it for another week. I'm hoping this wee will bring some more fun and excitement and I am sure it will.
