So, we kinda sorta arranged a blind date between nephew Justin and the yochin’s daughter Sohee.  Her English is only slightly better than Justin’s Korean skills, but they managed it pretty well I think.  Let’s tag along on their “date”, shall we?

The evening started at Dolce Vita with Sohee whippin’ Justin’s behind on the pool table.  Er, not literally of course.  She won the game while Justin’s balls were still on the table.  Um, figuratively speaking.  She sank the 8-ball first and won the game.  That’s what happened.

So, we headed out to Don Valley for some Korean barbecue.

Been pretty much a regular there these past 5+ years so the wait staff always caters to our every desire.  Food and beverage wise anyway.

Galbi (marinated pork) and mushroom was our entree of choice.

Grilled right at the table Korean-style.

with the requisite side dishes of course

You can almost smell that Korean goodness, can’t you?

And Justin sez it all tastes as good as it looks.

Appetites satisfied it was off to the noraebang…

Searchin’ for the perfect tune…

Singin’ is serious business for Justin…

Sohee has the voice of an angel…

…and momma ain’t bad either.

The ceiling in our singing room was out of this world… (ahem).

I’m old enough to remember when we had to “follow the bouncing ball” at sing-a-longs.

Having exhausted our voices it was time for some country music at the Grand Ole Opry…

The tackiest honky tonk in Itaewon.  I love this place…

Not sure what this is about, making plans for a future get together without the old farts along perhaps?

The Opry tradition at midnight is to play “God Bless the USA”  and as you can see many in the audience stand and sing along.

Anyway, it was a fun night out on the town with the young folks…
