We went to Bon Shabu restaurant on Monday, January 2, 2022 – day after New Years. Overall the place doesn’t seem to be staffed properly and your dining experience may be a draw of luck. It’s a fancy looking place that charges $60 per person during dinner for AYCE shabu shabu (when other places charge…

But this one quoted line is a particularly bad take: > What happens if the student population plummets in future years while the number of disabled elderly people…

> Am I still considered a dreamer even though I’m an old woman and all of my dreams have died ? :peepoHmm~1: humans are peculiar organisms that live in the present but also in the future if they lived in the present only, the realization that there is no food in front of them at…

I crossed the street during Walker green light Two cars turned in front of me 1. A car coming from the opposite direction, making a right turn 2. A car coming from my left, making a right turn A third car coming behind me also tried to turn left ahead of me but I managed…

> In Korena language “black person” is “흑인” .. I think in korean it has a different context. Can you confirm yongho? so Koreans are so racist they don’t realize that saying “black person”, “black-owned” is neutral – that it’s not racist. because all their lives, they have never heard the word “black person” (흑인)…
