Kind of Sightseeing

I went to Namdaemun Market with Eri by Uber. The cost was higher than I expected; it was over 40000 KRW (about 27 EUR). We had bibimbap at a Korean restaurant. It was okay. Then we moved to another big market, but I do not know the name. We had a variety of food such as japchae, a Korean stir-fried glass noodle dish, Korean pancake, and sashimi. I met a tourist couple from Canada. They gave us some of their pork dish, but it was not very tasty. We visited a wine bar. I completely forgot that it was our anniversary, May 23rd. Seventeen years ago, I proposed to Eri on a boat on the Tama River. Time has flown. The atmosphere was luxurious, and the price was also expensive. The cost was about 80000 KRW (about 54 EUR). In the end, we visited a Korean spa. I relaxed in a hot bath, similar to an onsen. I was already drunk and had a heavy headache. It had started to rain. We took an Uber. The fare was higher than during the daytime; it was over 50000 KRW (about 34 EUR). Clearly, the total cost exceeded my budget, so I felt irritated. I went to bed around 2 or 3 am.
