Jae and I went out Friday to Hongdae which is one of many university districts here in Seoul. We found a very good fairly priced Indian restaurant called Yeti where the food was served without any panjan (Korean pickled dishes). The nan was fresh, the curry toothsome and the Tandoori authentic. The whole fixed price meal included five courses and two glasses of wine for ₩35,000 which is llike $29.00 USD. The experience made us think that perhaps the further away from Itaewon one travels, the more authentic the international cuisine becomes: need more data to support this theory, so we'll be returning to Hongdae before Winter come home from summer with Grandma.
After supper we went to a small park across t he street from the restaurant we had noticed on an earlier family afternoon outing we all made in May that hosts local bands on weekend evenings. We found a group called Soundbox playing. Very entertaining, to say the least. I recorded a short video of two Korean fellows tap dancing to the band's international/world beat rhythms. (As soon as I can clean up the video snippet, I will add that to this post.)Spent the rest of the evening cruising streets packed with people and lights: entertainment at its best.
