Naomi Teacher had invited me the night before to see an art gallery that was showing Monet, so clearly I wanted to go! The next morning, though, our plans changed a little bit. We went to Itaewon first, to meet one of Naomi Teacher’s friends for brunch. We were going to go to some Korean-y place, but it was super busy, so we went instead to Outback Steakhouse (which is, for some reason, the very favorite restaurant of Korean children).
Cindy works at a private school teaching English where they can wear whatever they want, and the students are the children of celebrities. But she was also accused of shaking children and drawing red lines across their necks, so maybe it isn’t all roses. After lunch (and after Coffee Bean…) we went into a really cool “mall,” which is just a big room of vendors all selling Korean souvenirs, jewelry, textiles and stuff. I got my name painted, traditional style, on a scroll, by a man who looks just like guy on the Korean money.
