John and I team up with a couple guys from the hostel - Daniel and Leigh, an American and an Aussie, to hit the town. Daniel we met at the hostel last year, along with a few others we still keep in contact with. Somehow, a plan was forged over soju last night to come over here again next year and all get together to relive the good tines.
So we all hop in a taxi to Itaewon and hit up the red light district. Daniel gave us a guided tour of where it's ok to be, and where it's not. We were only having a look around when one such lady of the night wrapped her arm around mine and proceeded to try and pull me into her illicit sex dungeon - well that's what I though she was suggesting, my Korean is not quite that good yet. After tearing myself away, I was assured that she was not all she appeared to be - and so that's how I was accosted by a lady boy.
Beers, whiskey (in the form of birthday shots courtesy of some Canadian pilots we met) and some games of pool had me quite drunk by 1am, so in the taxi we went back to the hostel. The others stayed out a bit longer in the more local bars, whole I showered and slept.
Not bad for a Monday night, really. Now, we recuperate before going out to meet some friends again. The plan was to hang out along the Han river (a popular social gathering/drinking spot), but the rain has washed that plan out. I'm sure no good can come from whatever we end up doing anyway.
You seem to have all the luck in korea. lol
