Well another Chuseok has come and gone and as with every year, the Koreans hold up with family and we don't see them for four days and the westerners all travel around. It was no different this year.
With my payday arriving after Chuseok I was more or less broke but still managed a descent four days. Saturday I caught the bus to Seochang to chill with Paul, drink a bit and sample the local Seochang cuisine. We also managed a 2+ hour skype conversation with Kris and Miranda in Halifax, which was awesome as neither of us had actually talked to them in months. I stayed most of Sunday and got home around 9pm. Monday was actual Chuseok and the city was shut down except for a few bars/restaurants that were open in the evening. I decided to meet with Drew and Barry, who had gotten married in August and just come back to Korea. We hit a downtown restaurant then hit a bar called New York New York. Only Korean place I know of with that wide a range of beers. We then finished the night at Sydney st. Tuesday I decided to do a long hike to burn off Monday evening and it worked well.
Now back for a 3 day work week.
I remember a restaurant called 'New York New York' around the corner from SEI. I doubt it's the same thing.
