Tripping Far Side

Well, with Halloween approaching, Anna and I decided to go to Kobe today to look for some costumes.

We went to Tokyu Hands, which is a unique kind of store, with all kinds of knick-knacks. It takes about an hour to get to Kobe, so I'm glad we got there about 30 minutes before closing time. But, I was a little disappointed with their selection of Halloween costumes. On the other hand, only a few people celebrate here, so it's better than nothing.

Anyway, Anna got a witch's hat, and I got a wig and glasses in the like of Yon-sama, or Bae Yong Joon. He's a Korean actor in the enormously popular drama, Winter Sonata. By the time we got out, it was quite late so almost all the shopping stores were closed at 9 PM. But, Anna and I walked around Kobe anyway. We managed to get everything we needed at the last stop, fishnet stockings for her costume.

We went to a Korean restaurant that was pretty good. We ordered kalbi, lettuce, rice, and spicy soup (yook-kae-jang). But, next to us, we saw what looked like really tasty spicy chicken being grilled, so we asked the waiter to bring us an order. Take a look at the picture, what do you think it is? It was cooking for a surprisingly long time, and wouldn't get charred.... haha.... It's fat!! Umm, grilled fat!
