It's 2012... Happy New Year from South Korea!
Our New Years Eve was a blast! We started off the evening with some good friends eating at one of our favorite joints, The Holy Grill, in downtown Daegu.
The whole gang at The Holy Grill restaurant in downtown Daegu...best Cajun chicken sandwich on the planet!
For those of you living or planning to live in Daegu, you MUST eat at The Holy Grill. The owner Aaron is a cool guy and also the chef, and his dishes are finger-lickin' delicious! I recommend the steak burrito or the open-face Cajun chicken sandwich. YUM! They also have Red Rock beer on tap, which is my absolute favorite brew in Korea!
We hung out at the restaurant for several hours, mingling and playing one round of "Left, Right, Center". Sarah's friend and co-teacher Young Ji (on the far left of the above photo) was the winner of the game and collected a nice sum of 30,000 won, which is the equivalent of $30! Not bad for one round of a dice game.
Afterwards we went out for drinks at a lounge where we played a hand of the Phase 10 card game followed by several exhilirating rounds of Jenga, which is all the rave here in Daegu!
Me, right before knocking over the Jenga stack...terrible!
We finished off the evening perfectly, with our grand finale at the downtown park in Daegu ringing in 2012 with music, the ringing of the bell at midnight, and an incredible fireworks display to send us in to the new year in style!
All in all, we hope all of you had a safe and fun New Years this year, and we are SOOOO excited for all that awaits us in 2012...gonna be a BIG year! ;)
