I know you can't really see this picture clearly, and maybe that's for the best. Last night was another night out exploring downtown Daegu, in the lovely company of Cadena. Pictured above is the bar that (mis)represented itself as "a multicultural space for arts..." We were hoping for beat poetry, we found tall brick-like circular spaces clearly meant for two, with pillows and low tables, a lengthy (not to be trusted!!) and pricey wine list, and chiffon curtains "hiding" us from the rest of the brick-like, circular...etc. Complete with candles (lit and electric!). We actually didn't even order...we just sat there in a space that was clearly meant for dates/making out/other whatever (I was NOT comfortable in my bare feet), LAUGHING and taking pics surreptitiously, like the one above.

And thus went another night in Daegu, the strangest town for trying to go out and meet people. It didn't help that it was raining. But still, the clubs and bars were DEAD. Laughably, I think we have been just a little early (about 10pm vs. 12am) for any real out-and-aboutness. We have a plan for getting out there eventually, which does include a nap, but I won't bore with details as it just makes us sound old (as if nap didn't already do that:) ).

The best part of the night, and another check box off my Korean experience, was vinneroo. No, I am not positive on that spelling, but I AM very sure that this is one of the best things I've found in Daegu yet!! It is, basically, an adult juice box - a plastic Capri sun type bag filled with any combination of alcohol + mixer you could desire, shaken, with straw insert, all for  4000 won (roughly $4.00), to take with you, because there are no laws against open containers in S Korea. My choice was vodka grapefruit. It was splendid!!! I did not get any pictures because, again, it was raining and it was also gone way too fast. But I will go back and have another (several, few, etc) and will document just for you:)

Come visit, because Vinneroo is the best, and a nice panacea for the lack of good social environments!
