Buenos Aires' Chinatown + Hallyu Kermesse

Today I went to my first Hallyu event! It was about the whole Korean wave: K-pop, K-dramas, etc., but honestly, I went for K-pop! And the food... keke.

My boyfriend was kind enough to come with me, even though he really isn't into K-pop (he ends up learning the songs though, against his will XD)

Anyhow, the event was what is called a kermesse: there were different games you could play, which gave you tickets which you could afterwards exchange for all kinds of stuff, like coffee mugs or band posters.

Buuut... I didn't play. First, because I'm really introvert, and there were also a lot of people standing in line to get to play, and most people were much younger than me. So, I felt a bit outta place there.

However, that didn't stop me from getting a taste of kimbap samples!
                       
These are what you could call a Korean version of sushi rolls. The taste was more "western" though, since the main ingredient was ham or sausage.
 It was delicious! If you can get your hands on these, I recommend trying them.
