You've got ta do what they toldja!

Okay okay I'm here up late again so I am going to write again! I just took some melatonin so hopefully that will start kicking in sometime soon. I'm finally getting pretty comfortable in my own skin, and with the addition of a cell phone, I am feeling much more satisfied with life.

What have I been up to? Well I'll tell you just that! Lots! We'll start with my phone. I went to around 4 different stores and was quickly shuffled right out. No selling phones to nick teechuh, I guess. Just as I was about to give up hope, I tried a final store that was a bit larger than the others and I walked right in and they spoke engrish to me and it was perfect. So I got a phone! Its pretty neat, minus the fact that going from an iPhone to a phone that doesn't even have t9 makes my brain hurt in ways I can't explain, but believe me when I say I'm doing you a favor by not enlightening you. Oh, I'll also mention that my phone is named the Slim Panda. Are Panda's ever slim??

So I have finally gone to a new part of the country I hadn't been to and that part was Jamsil, which is basically east east Seoul. I met up with Mike and a few of his friends from Mok Dong and we went to an authentic Spanish restaurant. Why Spanish? I'll tell you! Mike is friends with a guy named Santi who is from Spain and he went so far as to go to the Spanish embassy to get recommendations for good Spanish cuisine. So we went. And guess what. It was good! It was 5 courses, even! And I had a glass of wine, as well.

Here is a picture in Jamsil. I'm annoyed at how blurry it is but whatever. I think its funny. They also had what seemed like a huge disney land type thing that might be a pretty fun place to visit sometime!




Also I would like to show you a picture of one of the bathrooms in the bar/dance place we were at! Ladies, you'll love this.



Thats right! A hole in the ground! I am thinking its the same in the girls room, too, but I'm not positive. Anyways, a word for the wise: stay out of these places. They stink. But the bar was cool! I'll show you a video below just so you know! I would upload some from other dancing spots but it takes me too long to do and i'm not in the mood!




So also I am finally getting paid some real monies on the 30th and I am so excited! I think I am going to go half n half with my friend here to get a vacuum because its just crucial to have them. I also would like a wireless router and maybe a shirt or two. Oh! By the way! I got some neat socks. They look like a pair of all-stars but they are socks. Oh what a world. Hopefully with my addition of money I will also be going to visit some neat places around here. I want to see the war memorial / museum and some other museums and go to the dmz and check out lots of cool things. Also I think i'll show you a little snack from one of my favorite places to grab food from before work. Its a place called Tomato Kimbop and here:



It is a warm ball of rice with tuna inside and then sesame seeds and some kinda spicys on top. Can't beat it for 2 bucks. My friend told me about a smoothie place next door also that will give you them for a buck, so woo! I'm hitting it up tomorrow.

So hopefully I'll finally have something more than food and my lack of doing anything other than going out to bars and dancing next time. It should be a pretty smooth week so I don't expect much exciting news. If there is, you'll be the first to know! Till then!

  3. it was 5 courses! First was some egg/pepper square omelette thing and a muscle with peppers on it, then scallops and potato tapas, then bread with dried salami and bacon stuff on it, then paella with prawns, and then flan for dessert. It was not disgusting at all, it was delicious!
