St. Patrick's Day


Saturday night was the Irish-Korean Societies St. Patrick's Day dinner held at the Westin-Chosun Hotel. For 60 dollars you got an all you could eat buffet and unlimited amounts of beer (the pricey Guinness beer included). O'Kim's (a true Irish/Korean family name) was packed with people plastered in green with many of them coming up with their own unique holiday get ups.

Three of these people were my friends. Saejin didn't even recognize Heidi and Rachel Lynn when he arrived and was too shy to even stand near them. They chased him around the lobby until he finally relented and admitted to knowing them. When we first entered the place the line up for food was snaked around the bar and took us an hour and a half to reach the prize. The reason the lineup was so long was that with all the tables taken this was the only place to eat. This is the first buffet where I've actually eaten while in line but for a classy hotel the food wasn't impressive at all.
