Incheon's Finest: Chinatown At Night.

After dinner and getting my glasses from the optical shop that night, we drove to some familiar sights in Incheon. I didn't want to go home just yet, especially when my stomach feels like a ticking time bomb and about to explode anytime. I was so uncomfortably full and guilty as hell that I planned my very own penitence to burn that massive amount of calories. So we climbed towards Jayu - Freedom Park and spent 2 hours there walking and jogging till the lights were all turned off. Then we went to Chinatown which is a few minutes away from the area in hopes to burn a few more. The steep roads there are perfect for my self-induced torture you know.

It was almost midnight, and all the shops were closed. But then we found this place - like a shrine of some sort. There's a cute little pond and it's surrounded by lanterns. It was raining a little bit so went to the gazebo for shelter. When the rain halted to a quieter drizzle, we looked around for a place to get coffee. We found a vendo machine - you know that coin-operated thing that serves coffee in teeny tiny cups? Well, Chris doesn't like it. He said something about the water being old and the cups being dirty.. So I told him "Puhleez, you're no Goo Jun Pyo so drink up!" (translation: don't be such a wuss). He's probably offended but he took a few sip to appease me. After that we called it a night. Anyway, here's how the shrine in Chinatown looks like.







*For those who are clueless about Goo Jun Pyo, well he's a character from a drama that was shown a few years ago called "Boys Over Flowers". Being the ridiculously rich person that he is, he refuses to drink coffee in vendo machines - much like Chris, except for the ridiculously rich part. : )
