Enlightening My Seoul

Today, Tony, Tim, Alex, Anita, Sylvia and I went on a trip to Strathfield to eat Korean bbq among other things. I had never been to Strathfield before, only to change trains and stuff so it was all new. It's so cool! As soon as you step outside of the station it's like you step into South Korea, not that I would know because I have never been but my sister and dad are going sometime this year or next year, I'M SO JELLY (not really). It's like Cabra and Vietnamese people. Only of course this is way cooler because it's not Vietnamese. Don't get me wrong, I love being Vietnamese but it's just not fascinating. Anyway. We went to Strathfield Plaza first and we saw Mr Nguyen there. He fits in so well with Korean people. Then we went to the bbq place and it was so cool! They use lumps of coal underneath the bbq cooking thing, I think it was coal? I don't know. A few minutes into our meal, the bbq cooking thing stopped working so we had to move to another table. I think we should have gotten a discount for that but let's not get Asian here. Tony was very sad because he knows the manager of the restaurant and could have gotten a discount but she wasn't there today! Ha. Do people not like eggplant or something? Nobody would eat the eggplant side dish but I think it was delicious! After more than 2 hours at Korean bbq we went to karaoke! Woop Woop! IT WAS SO FUN! I love going into a dark room and just belting out songs at ridiculous pitches. Of course, Tony owned us all in the singing department but kudos to everyone for spirit and passion, eh? Hehehe. I feel so sorry for the worker there. Seriously. He has to endure so much terrible singing everyday. Oh, Sylvia sung a weird Jap song that just repeated 'Pon' over and over again and it sounded like she was saying porn and things just got really dirty from there. Ha! But it was very fun. Thennnnn, we went to Noggi and had to take away because our train was coming but then we didn't even get on that train because there were no seats for us to eat our yogurt so that was really pointless. ANYWAY. I don't really like frozen yogurt that much but I ate most of it because nobody liked Pom and plain flavour and I'm a fatty. Everyone got so full after today and I was like huh? But NOW I feel super duper full. Train ride was mainly just Anita and Tony taking their bajillion sky pictures and Tony spilling yogurt on his pants and stuff. Today was so random but it was fun, not to mention a very culturally-enlightening experience (or maybe I'm just a noob). A good end to the holidays!
