Chi-Town

Back in November, Song Min and I went down to Chicago for a long weekend with my friend Lisa. We actually had planned to go with a couple of our friends, but one bailed out at the last minute, so the three of us just ended up going together.

We spent quite a bit of time eating at Korean restaurants. We went to two Korean barbeques (where they bring out the raw meat and you grill it yourself at the table). We also went to this little soup restaurant one afternoon, which was absolutely delicious.

Upon recommendation, we went to a little hot dog joint near our hotel called Gene & Jude's. The line wrapped around the entire place and circled a couple of times in the middle. It was crazy. But, once we started eating (in the car, because there's no place to sit inside), we found that it was worth the wait...yummy!





My big favorite in Chicago is the Museum of Science and Industry. I can remember going to the museum with my family as a kid. Song Min had never been, so I was really excited to wander through with him.





Later, we met up with one of Song Min's friends and hit a noraebang (noraebang is basically karaoke in private rooms). We stayed until the place closed at four in the morning!



It was a fun weekend. We were pretty busy the whole time, so it seemed like a whirlwind trip. Hopefully, we can go again in 2009.
