Valentine's Day

Last year I spent Valentine's Day eating some great AMERICAN food at Avenue's Bistro in Brookside.   This Valentine's Day was spent with 5 coworkers and what started off to be a slow night ended up being quite fun!!  We started off at a Japanese restaurant and ordered a lot of sushi and sake.  I've only had sushi once before, but I'm starting to like it...I think.  We spent a couple hours at the restaurant and then headed to the "Symphony."  Symphony is an upscale noraebong (karaoke bar).  For those of you who know me, you probably know that I can't sing. I'm not being humble here.  I really can't sing, but here in Korea that doesn't stop me from having some fun and making a fool out of myself (I'm very good at that)!  Here is a list of songs that I remember singing (if you want to call it singing): Hungry Eyes, Eternal Flame, Gangsta's Paradise, Like a Prayer, I'll Be Missing You, With or Without You, Wonderwall, Hero.  Yes, I had a mic in my hand for all of those songs, plus some others but I forgot what they were.  We stayed at the noraebong till about 1am and then headed to a dance club called "Lounge 3."  I'd never been there and when we arrived we were the only people there, but were promised that by 2am the place would be bouncin...the promise was upheld =)  We were solo for a while, but then came the Korean masses.  The music was amazing and the remainder of the night/morning was spent on the dance floor =)

This is me at the Japanese restaurant.  This is a fish that I did not want to eat.  But I lost a farkle and therefore I had to eat the head of the fish.  Gross!

Sounds like an awesome night and a bit like mine, minus the sushi part. I sang "I love Rock'n'Roll" and danced the night away in what can only be described as an alternative universe. Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

What! You like sushi now? Just last week I was just talking to Lauren about how you wouldn't go to Kona even if everyone else was, because you didn't like sushi...
