Friday night was spent resting, lamenting the theft of our power adaptor from the hostel. Saturday, we met with our friend Yan, and she helped us purchase a couple new ones. Some more cheese beansu went down well and cooled us off.
It was then back to our hotel to change and get ready for a night out. This is where I find the adaptor at the bottom of my bag, hah hah. We started with a very cool BBQ place that let's you bring your own meat. Of course, this makes the butcher located downstairs the source of choice.
We were then taken to a traditional tea house on the outskirts if Daejeon for some Lotus Leaf tea. The place would make a great date spot. I felt very special.
Next, we hit the town to visit my old haunts, Yellow Taxi and Sponge Bar. Great to see the old bars again, though Sponge had turned into something of a club. Home by about 5am.
It's Sunday now, and we met with a friend from the university, Hyung Min. She shouted us lunch with a surprising twist - spicy chicken with cheese! Not bad at all.
After that, we walked up to the university dormitories, something we had to do many a time after having gone to the local restaurants and bars when I studdied there, and checked out the local sculptures along the way. It looked as though they were building a few more dorms too.
After walking back down the hill, we retreated from the heat back to the hotel. We failed to find anywhere to do our laundry this time, and we've resigned ourselves to doing it at the new hostel in Busan tomorrow. Feeling kind of dirty now.
For tonight though, we will hit up one more favourite bar to say hello to the owner, Mr Lee, shoot a tequila (even though I hate it, but it's tradition) and listen to some Bob Marley (traditions rarely make sense).
Edit:
I was shocked and appalled to find that our intended destination, a bar called Santa Claus, had bee replaced by a bank. We drowned our sorrows with Long Island ice teas and played a few rounds of darts, before going for some chicken and beer.
