Naengmyeon and Saturday time Wasters....

So on Thursday afternoon I am told that I'll need to attend a seminar on the coming Saturday from 9am to 1am. I was sort of annoyed to get the information on such short notice, especially since the place was set to be about an hour from my place by metro. That implied I would need to wake up at 7am to get there on time. I was not happy. But what can I do. It's apparently a mandatory seminar for all teacher in Korea, and they - F them - make US pay for the books and material used - WTF.

Anyways. I went to sleep early on a Saturday but I didn't set my alarm. Hell with being on time. I was not being paid for that - I was actually expected to pay -so I did not feel happy about it. Man it's easy to get all pissed up when you think too much about things. 

So I head out with a coworker and we head out.  

I have always had a very good eye for useless stuff. I'd find the smallest piece of trash on the floor in a second, and be able to find the exact one yet an hour later in seconds had it not been removed.

But don't ask me to find my needle when I drop it on the floor of a coffee shop when I work on a doll......

Anyways, this theory was proven right again Saturday, I looked at a kid park in the distance as we walked and went oooooohhh look it's shaped like a cute whale! Remind me to take a picture with it when we get back. 

How the hell did I find the time to notice that whale from between the trees....

So.

When I said I wanted to take a picture, I didn't expect to get to take it so quickly. 

Apparently we were told the wrong dates for the seminar, and it was next week.

FML.

One of those things that piss you off. Like wasting 2 hours of your life on a rare day off in Korea when you could be doing ANYTHING else and it'd be better.

Still.

I refused to be angry.

It was too early morning to be angry.

There had to be something good about having gone there for nothing...

And I was right. Yes. Positivism you little cutie pie how I love you. So hungry we were, morning it was, Naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodle) restaurant there was beside us. I felt like in this choking hot weather that was the best we could hope to eat. I had a pancake appointment with a friend later on so breakfasting on waffle was not appealing to me. Naengmyeon it was.

Those were the best naengmyeon I have had in Korea. 

Man it was good. 

Usually, you need to add vinegar and a sort of mustard to you liking to add some taste to the pretty blend broth of the meal. However, this place was incredible. I didn't add anything. The broth was a bliss for my tastebuds. I had never finished a bowl on naengmyeon in Korea; it's good cool and refreshing, but you usually get bored of the taste before the end, and let's face it, it's a lot of noodles.

I didn't leave anything.
