Tristan & CJ's Going Away Party

Goodbye to Good Friends
2015.08.28 @ Cantina del Sol in Suwon [수원]

This is definitely not my first post from a visit to Cantina del Sol, Suwon's best Mexican restaurant, but it the trip still needed a post, because it was CJ and Tristan's last night in Suwon. Tristan was one of my best friends here in Korea, and CJ was my go to support system for the two years he was here. They will both be greatly missed. Well, they already are greatly missed, seeing as though they left almost two months ago. They had a big impact on all of us here. You'll see in these photos how many people made the trip out to say goodbye.

Camping Like Honey Samgyeopsal Cantina del Sol Suwon Hwaseong

How to get to Cantina Del Sol:

Hwaseo Station [화서역] (Seoul Subway Line 1) - Exit 1

The easiest way to get to this place is to go to Hwaseo Station and take a taxi to Hwaseo O-geo-li. Tell the taxi driver, "Hwaseo O-geo-li-lo ka-ju-se-yo." [화서오거리로 가주세요.] You can also walk. Just follow this map.

Cantina Del Sol, Suwon's Surprise Mexican Restaurant

Cantina Del Sol [칸티나 델 쏠]
2014/04/25 @ 수원 [Suwon]

Sorry for the lack of posting the past couple months; I've been extremely busy with work lately. CJ is really good at the Internet, and he managed to find us a Mexican restaurant in Suwon called Cantina Del Sol. We went out on a Friday night, and really enjoyed it. The service isn't the quickest, but I think I actually like it better that way. The food comes as soon as each individual item is finished. It makes for a very social meal, because everyone is eating at a slightly different time.

We actually went out on Friday night, again. It was even better this time. They put a TV on the bar, and we stayed until 3am to watch the Italy vs. Costa Rica World Cup game.
