Anyway, because we usually don't get to have lunch together, and because he's bored after a couple of hours, we've met up everyday. Here's what we did/where we went.
On Monday he really wanted meat, so we tried to go to the meat buffet. Luckily (for me, because I didn't really want to eat that much meat and then teach for 8 hours), it was closed. So we ended up going to a kimbap place (which is directly across the street from my school) and spliting kimbap. He had kimchi jjigae and I had ramen. I suspected that this was the place my co-workers order from everyday and this suspicion was confirmed later that evening when the delivery guy dropped off food and we nodded hello when he recognized me from earlier. We also had coffee at illy coffee and he quizzed me on some Korean vocab.
On Tuesday we went downtown to SP. We split mandu. They were really hot and when Dallas bit into his first one, it squirted across the table and hit my arm. Then he had tofu soup and I had bibimbap with steak in it. It was actually really good because it is also served in the stone bowls that keep cooking your food, so the rice was almost like fried rice. Then we had take out coffee from Cafe Bene and walked around downtown for a little bit. I bought some silver hoop earrings and he had to put the top one in for me because I didn't have a mirror. We got stared at, but that's nothing unusual.
On Wednesday, Amanda and I met up and went to Dallas's school at 10 to play a game of Catan before we had to go to school (she works at the hagwon literally next door to mine). Dallas met us then made us tea and gave us lollipops. We played 2 games (I won both, thus regaining my title) while listening to the end of Pitch Perfect and then music. Then we went to lunch at the kimbap place again because I had to slightly rush because I have to be at school at exactly 2 on Wednesdays because I have a single student who comes at 2. Amanda and I had bibimb guksu (cold, skinny noodles with vegetables) and Dallas ordered cheese dduckbokki and when it got there it was huge! I ate part of it and it was really good. Then he made me eat one of these meatball looking things which was a fish cake ball. Luckily I still had enough of my food to get the fish taste out of my mouth. Dallas asked for the rest of mine to be put in a take out box and the people there are so nice - they gave me sides and chopsticks in a little bag. It was nice having dinner, but it has a semi strong smell and my desk smelled like food the whole day.
