Reunion Dinner^^

Reunion Dinner, a must for most of us chinese on the eve of Chinese New Year. 2nd Chinese New Year for me and my friends here in Korea, this year we decided to gather all the chinese in my batch and have a reunion dinner together.
My friend's sister, who's also here in Korea, joined us, and so were 3 other juniors. Two of my friends and I went hunting for a chinese restaurant the day before our dinner. We thought of going to a one near my house, but the menu was a bit expensive and there are not many entertainment places near my house. Furthermore the "feeling" isn't there if we went to a shop too close to our house.

Two out of the eight dishes that we had. As the place that we went to didn't have round tables for us, we sat at a rectangle table.

So the food shown in the pic is for 4 people. We had two soups, whick included a bowl of (fake?) shark fin for each of us. The food was quite good, and the atmosphere of the place was good as well. The decoration of the place gave it an antique feeling. One of the table that we use was an antique as well^^ (strange owner...he has another shop with the same name downstair, but the decorations are modern design)

After diner we went to sing a few songs. Though this noraebang isn't as luxurious as the one in Hongdae, it has its own unique design. All 22 of us managed to squeeze into the room and had a great time. 6 of them went back ealier as they didn't want to spend the night outside (girls) and another wanted to phone his family. All in all spent 2+ hours there.


After midnight, we went to a pub. As we wanted a brighter atmosphere, we chose the outdoor part. Ordered some snacks (sausages & chicken) and 3 3000cc beer. As the place didn't have soju(a type of distilled liquor), my friend smuggled it in from a convenience store. Made cocktail out of it^^

We played a few games from 12+am till 3am. Drink, play, eat, talk. We had quite a good time there, though one or two almost got drunk....
Our plan was to kill time at the pub till the 1st subway operates, around 4.45am. But the store closed much earlier that night, at 3pm. So we moved on to the next place...............................

.....a dvd bang(room).

I've heard about DVD rooms in Korea before, but never actually been to one. And my first experience was great. The normal rooms can fit 2 person at a time while the biggest one could fit 4. Consifering the facilities provided, the price was also quite reasonable, at 5000won (RM 18) per person (A normal ticket at the cinema would cost around 4000-6000won.)

We booked all 6 rooms, and chose 6 dvds that we wanted to watch. My friend Hock Siang and I chosed "Fantastic Four" while others chose movies like "Saw", "Monalisa Smile", "Chainsaw Massacre" etc

After watching the dvd, it was already 5.30am . Got on a subway and headed back......tired, sleepy but enjoyed ourselves^^
