Late, late night

I got home far too late tonight to do a serious post. So this will be brief, and there is no video.

We performed our first concert today, and the crowd loved it. They really thought it was fantastic, and the applause was deafening. It was quite something to watch. Tomorrow, we play the main concert, to a crowd of between 2-4 thousand people. I took lots of pictures, but the internet is a little sketchy here, and I can't get them to upload. But I promise many are coming tomorrow :)

The coffee here is unbelievable. I don't think I'll be able to drink the junk we have back in the states after this. If you have ever heard the line in a movie "that coffee you made today was really great" and thought, "what's the big deal? It's coffee. It's all pretty much the same" THIS is what they're talking about. The level of flavor really blows anything I have had before out of the water. And I'm not even a big coffee drinker. Alex should have come with me. She would just love this.

I had a 7 course meal for dinner tonight, and it cost just about $70. It was really the epitome of a perfect meal. Every course was perfectly portioned, and the presentation was phenomenal. It was at a new restaurant (brand new, as in grand opening on Wednesday new) called A'MUSE 63. If you ever come to Korea, this is where you should eat. I had lunch there on Wednesday also, and have found it to be consistently fantastic. If you like wine, their selection is quite extensive, and although many bottles are priced over $1000, the $25-$50 selection is also quite full. They feature champagne from most of the best producers, including Vive Clique and Moet et Chandon, and in the later they have a Dom Pérignon in the highly rated 1982 vintage. Service was top notch, and the attention to detail was remarkable, as was the atmosphere. I will be eating there at least once more before I leave.

That's all for tonight (It's currently 1am and we have a full day tomorow starting at 8am). I appologize that there was no riduclous video, but there will be plenty of interesting media tomorrow night, I promise. Have a good day, and a great start to the weekend.
