On Friday there was a national holiday in Korea and since none of us intends to offend Korean traditions, we were unable to work that day. Which meant sleaping late and meeting for an interesting lunch in Nok-Du. We decided to go to a place specializing on the Korean version of 'Maultaschen'. Here they are called 'mandu'. Being six people, with six different undecipherable choices of Mandu, we decided to do it Korean style and ordered everything to share among each other. Should you actually count the dishes on the table, you will notice only six, since I took the picture a bit too early.
Afterwards, we spent some more time being lazy and eventually set out for the COEX Mall, which is certainly among the most classy and most expansive here. This time not for shopping, though, but mainly to see the new Batman movie on a really big screen. On the way there, we got a nice impression on how they clean the skye scrapers here (in the rain!). Anyhow, a lot of other Koreans also decided for the movie option on a rainy friday, so the first one with six seats in a row was at 23:20h, but we took it anyhow. There are actually still movies starting at 3:20h in the morning here, so we figured, it wasn't really the late show anyway. After the movie, so at three in the morning, we had to take a taxi back. It drove for about 30 minutes and cost a magical 15,000 Won, i.e. less than 15 €. If only German taxis were that cheap.
