Easter Sunday: Marathoning and American Chinese Food
We woke up early Sunday morning because we had to meet my marathon team at the prison. When we got there we packed in to the prison bus (the bus they use to transport the prisoners). The bus took us to a small town nestled in the mountains about one hour away,
called Hapcheon.
The marathon was the usual gong show- fireworks, cheerleaders, group stretches, truly, a fair like atmosphere.
The course was probably the most beautiful I've ever ran with cherry trees blossoming on both sides of the newly paved highway that snaked between the mountains, around a dam, and beside a picturesque lake.
After the race the marathon the team had a few drinks in our team tent, went out for beef soup, and drove around in the mountains and took in the beautiful view behind the barred windows of the prison bus.
When Alissa and I got home we went out for an Easter feast at Leo Cheo's, a American Chinese Restaurant. There are a lot of Korean Chinese Food Restaurants around but this is the only American Chinese Restaurant in Daegu. Strangely enough, the Korean Chinese food doesn't have ANY of the same Chinese dishes that we know and love in Canada, and when I was in China the food was both different from the Chinese food that I had eaten in Korean and Canada! This is the low down on the food "Chinese Food"
Korean Chinese Food is always fresh, filling, and pretty healthy. The 3 most popular dishes at these restaurants are 1- Tan so uke - a battered and fried pork with vegetables and sweet and sour sauce; 2- Black noddles- they are noodles covered in a mysteriously delicious black sauce; 3- Jam pon- A spicy seafood soup with noodles, small shell fish, crabs, clams, and little tiny whole octopus.
Chinese Chinese Food is very oily and greasy but consequently very delicious!
Leo Cheo's American Chinese Food is like the food you get at a Chinese restaurant in Canada but done up gourmet style.
MMMMmmmmm.... Easter Feaster!!!!

When I got home and took my shirt off I found a nasty sunburn. I still can't get my head around getting a sunburn on Easter!
Happy Late Easter to Everyone Back Home from the both of us.
