So about a week ago I saw a great concert at the Lotte Arts Center with a couple of my friends. Now before the concert I went to a Izakaya with my friend. Here, I learned that she could not handle ginger or wasabi. In the last picture, you can see her make her Waazzabee face.

서울 강남구 역삼동 669-16

Other than that, I’m a mostly normal person.
