Pita.

So my 6'7 Canadian friend David and I decided to head out to Itawon Saturday. Now Itawon is known for many things from having the largest concentration of foreigners in Korea, to great shopping (more fake designer digs than you even knew existed), to being a great place to party, and even a great place to get arrested. Now we didn't go there to party and we weren't sporting high and tights so we probably weren't going to get arrested so we basically walked around looking at the goods with the rest of the foreigners David standing out from the crowd due to his vertical prowess.

We were perfectly happy haggling the street vendors to cut an extra 5 bucks from the price of a fake Polo and being hassled by tailors to get fitted for a suit but then we saw the Pita. Well David saw the Pita and we decided as a team that our day would not be complete without having one for ourselves. So we continued on our way down the crowded streets, still haggling and being haggled, but with a greater purpose, the Pita.

It was sometime after in the eighty-eight degree heat I encountered a mountain of scarves and suggested to David that he should buy one. Whereupon a little Korean woman's face popped through the mountain of scarves screaming "Yea! You take a look!"

Whereupon I jumped skyward.

And before a vendor tried to convince me to follow him into a basement to look at fake Rolex watches (a fake Rolex made in China is 30 bucks and a fake Rolex made in Korea is 120, plus shipping, handling, and the cost of me partying in Itawoning if you're interested). That we found the Pita.

The Pita was on the second floor and as we climbed up the stairs we still weren't sure. The price was steep, six bucks, but we decided to splurge. The best six bucks I have ever spent. The Pita was huge, the Pita was stuffed with stuffings, the PITA!

I also bought four bootleg DVDs for ten bucks.
