For New Year's Eve, we decided to go out for some steak as our special treat. Since being in Korea, we haven't really been able to eat a lot of red meat. Mostly because it's super expensive. A piece of steak can easily cost $30 and it's not even a huge piece. That same amount of meat would be about $5-$6 in Vancouver. See the difference? We've mainly stuck to pork and chicken.
We went to Outback Steak House - an Australian chain. We thought we'd see a lot of foreigners in there but it was mostly Korean. When we ordered our food, we got really confused. There was an item that said "for two" and we thought "wow, what a deal! such a cheap price for two!". We tried to order it and almost ended up order two orders of it! Apparently it was only for one person, but perhaps the ad wanted to suggest you should order two for you and your date. Luckily there was a staff that was able to speak English and helped clarify it for us before the order was put and we quickly rectified the order to something less extravagant.
The steak was delicious. It was thick and made the way we liked it. The side of mashed potato was also great. As we left, they told us that they're giving away bread for free so we got some.
After that dinner, we went to do some grocery shopping at E-mart (across the street). Then we went home and watched tv. Neil did some work and a minute before nye, we sat and down and did our count down together. Not the most exciting, but I'd much prefer to be with loved ones at home where I'm safe and warm than be with a bunch of strangers and get my drink spilled on me. It was a nice and comforting way to move on to the next year.
I heard somewhere, how you spend your last night of the year is how you'll spend the rest of your next year.
