Party in the Park

We decided to have something of a farewell party for Peter, one of the volunteers here at Kimchee. As per usual, this consisted of a stupid amount of soju - I opted for 2 1.8L bottles from the nearby mart for 9000 won, which works out to be half the price of getting it at the local 7/11, and only $11 NZD. 

At around 11pm, we sallied forth from the hostel, and found ourselves playing the game of kings:

10000 won for a game, which includes the beer. 

Charging on, we congregate in the park as so many others do to chill out and drink with strangers. It's not hard to find people that speak English, and while I do enjoy trying to speak Korean, it makes everything a lot easier. Surprising to see cockroaches there, but then again, considering how dirty the area is, maybe not. They went crunch under foot. 

Being the gentlemen that we are, John and I walk some random lass home, for the second time in recent nights, and get back to the hostel about 4:30, with snacks. 

Lunchtime today (yes, it was actually an acceptable time to still be considered lunch) consisted of traditionally fried chicken, curtesy of KFC. John then bailed and went back to bed like a nanna, and is still there as I write this at 6pm. I then went to have a look at the local chain department store, Lotte World, to check out the bookstore and clothing shop. Found a number of Korean Language study books and some survival guides, but nothing that really too my interest at this stage. May pick up a couple neat looking t shirts from the Uni Qlo store, after having lost what I had got from there in Japan. The dress shirts are far to trendy for me though. 

The rain seems to have dissipated and the thunderstorm rolled out, but I doubt I will get up to much more today. John and I need to book our accommodation for Daejeon and Busan this weekend, as we checkout on Friday. Busan should be easy because we are there on weekdays, but Daejeon could be a problem this weekend due to lack of hostels, and late booking.
