NANTA!!!

The most popular performance in Korea is NANTA, a cooking dance/music performance, similar to STOMP or Blue Man Group (back in America). I went Sunday night to the show with Keith and a big group of our friends. Tickets are usually expensive (around $50-$60), but since our friend Elizabeth's co-teacher was able to get us an incredible VIP section deal, it only cost $30.

It was hilarious and such an amazing show! The four main performers had so much energy and combined comedy scenes, such as being stuck in a trash can, to fighting over the beautiful female performer, to having a cook-off/ knife-off, and dance-off, etc. I wish I could explain the show better in detail, but I guess you'll just have to come to Korea and experience it for yourself!

People were even taken from the audience to be apart of some acts on stage. Since we had about 10 foreigners all sitting three rows back from the front, we weren't surprised when they chose our friend Kelly to go up. She was able to try a soup dish that the performers made and had a "pretend marriage" with the other male guest from the audience. It was pretty funny to watch and our friend Kelly was able to bring home a little souvenir (a small package of cornmeal and a NANTA keychain).
