Japanese food & Walker-Hill Casino

Saturday, my Japanese friend Hiroko and I went out for dinner with her coworkers in Itaewon, then to the elegant Paradise Walker-Hill Casino near Seoul Station. By law, Korean casinos are for foreigners only, so we saw a lot of tourists hitting the tables and slot machines. Drinks are free and the hotel is stunning.

Itaewon, also known as Western Town, is home to a variety of International cuisine including Mexican, Indian and Ethiopian. We had Japanese food, pictured below.

Eva! I'm back from my holiday in Taiwan, HK, Malaysia, and Singapore -- must finish catching up on your blog! haha
I was also surprised how much people in HK love corn. Their corn is nothing like our corn at home. Their corn looks shriveled.. like great grandma's teeth ahha.. They even sell corn niblet snacks at 711!

Anyway, glad to know you're blog is still being updated often! Can't wait to read what I've missed.

There's a decent Greek restaurant in Itaewon. I like Korean food and all, but Moussaka (even mediocre) after months of soup and rice is Manna, mildly put.

That was a lot of Ms...

Ummn, why the heck are the casinos there only for foreigners??

Personally I think it's a great thing. The government could be making a lot of money through casino taxes but they're protecting the Korean people.

Are you sitting comfortably? Many an afternoon has been enjoyed by a family, bonding over the discussion of japanonline casino korea. While it has been acknowledged that it has an important part to play in the development of man, it is impossible to overestimate its impact on modern thought. Inevitably feelings run deep amongst the upper echelons of progressive service sector organisations, obviously. Here begins my indepth analysis of the glourious subject of japanonline casino korea.
