Cultural Friday: Little Havana & Korean Food

Every last Friday of the month the neighborhood of Little Havana hosts cultural Fridays which includes salsa dancing, art, ice cream, street performers, live music and my favorite, a historical tour by legendary professor and historian Dr Paul George. 

After the tour we decided to make the journey west on Flagler to eat at Seoul Garden the first and only (to my knowledge) Korean/Nicaraguan restaurant. I cannot even express my love of korean food and the lack of it in Miami kills me. I had no knowledge of this restaurant until Friday and knew I had to try it immediately. It was a bit of a journey from the beach but Seoul Garden did not disappoint.

I apologize for the lack of pictures but once the food was placed on the table, photographing it was the last thing on my mind. You can view pictures and read reviews for Seoul Garden on yelp or try them for yourself at:

School: Tap

The last two years have been amazing mainly because I am in school. I had talked about it for so long and now I am actually doing it. I have had the chance to try so many things I would have probably never tried, which at times were terrifying. As far as I have come I feel like I am still trying to find my voice and speak up in class, find my confidence while doing assignments, and curve my anxiety while taking tests. I've been pushing myself so much I wanted to take it easy this semester and have fun. So I thought, why not tap? I LOVE Gene Kelly. No dance training, lack of flexibility and coordination, no problem. Surely this will be the dance I will finally excel at.. . . well . . . things aren't exactly going as I envisioned. Flanked on either side by musical theater majors I'll just say its been a very humbling experience. I actually started dreading going until I reminded myself . . . didn't I take this class for fun?! I am definitely not the best in the class but I am making strides. Below is my professor showing us the steps to our very first routine, along with a little of her own improvising at the end . . . show off ;)
