25 Aug 2009I really like this picture. The lady taking the Eunmi’s order is Indian I think. Some of the other servers actually look a Korean, especially since they spoke Korean Eunmi explained to me that they are Nepalese. Nepalese people sometimes look both Asian and Indian. Eunmi is pretty well traveled and has been to both [...]
