I went to Essen last week to see JD, Chick and Barana. So industrial, totally Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Eastern bloc feel! Only ate Korean food for some reason...I'm not the trip was worth the 500 clams but I really liked going to Koln/Cologne to see JS unexpectedly! Highlight was the orange and yogurt gelato I have to admit (and the Cathedral too, I guess).

Going back home next week for a few days and coming back to Swiss on Sunday! Went to with Swiss Gpa to Aligro to buy $500 worth of chocos and crackers. Okay I exaggerate...more like $440. I really don't think DaVida crackers are SO fucking amazing (although I did when I was in the mountain). The rest was for fish and breads. Yesterday was sukiyaki, today is pork bulgogi and tomorrow is kalbi jim. Unfortunately I'm just googling recipes and making it up and having to deal with impossible to find ingredients. Like, try to cut sukiyaki meat by hand!! or...that I could not find chicken broth in a can. Damnit I forgot I have to make tonkotsu...with no panko and no sauce. Um there is "Genevois" bread though should I just use that..

I just stepped out for 5 minutes right now and I found this kid, maybe 16, lying with his bike in the corner of the street. I was like umm and he sort of moved his head and was like mumbling something so I ran to get Swiss Gpa. Another man came at the same time but the kid kept saying something strange vomitted and finally got up and wheeled his bike away. They think he was on drugs...ugh I'm not leaving the house today again!
