Coronarita

Sometimes, something looks more delicious to the eyes, than it tastes to the tongue. Today, we found such an item. 

It had been raining with some serious thunderstorms most of today. A few if us in the hostel watched a movie or two to kill the time. No one was really keen on venturing out into the downpour. 

Dinner time rolled round (after having arisen around 2pm), and our second taco experience in Korea (while still avoiding Taco Bell) featured something I had read in one of the Seoul tourist magazines at the hostel - the Coronarita. A margarita with an upsidedown corona beer in it. What could possibly go wrong?

We ordered some tacos and nachoes to go with our monstrous mistake of a drinks order. For some reason, it only dawned on me that a margarita would contain tequila immediately as the first drop hit my taste buds. I'm not a praying man, but oh dear god what had I done?

I regretfully, yet dutifully, finished the toxic drink. Served me right, but hey, better to regret such decisions than to have never lived at all. 

Back to the hostel after we finished for some refreshing Soju and cola. Turns out when you spend $5 on alcohol, and share it with others, they become your permanent drink servers. We seldom had to get up for another drink after that. 

John and I have been planning our final week in Seoul, hoping to make better use of the time than we did in Busan. 

The rest of the week is booked up with activities and meeting with friends, not for the sole purpose of drinking either!

We depart this coming Monday, arrive home Tuesday, and to my horror I'm back at work on the Wednesday. Forget being unproductive, I'm probably going to be sweating alcohol as I try to stay awake throughout the day. I could have sworn I had the Wednesday off as well, but no matter, it's still a short week. 

As John put it, we're going to need a holiday from our holiday after all this.

It's now 3am, and we're heading out to a bar or something with a couple others in search of a quiet drink or two. Hopefully darts will feature! We have a 1pm appointment tomorrow/today, so we can't be out too late.
