Super Seoul Weekend
Seriously can my life get any better here. Well, actually it could. My brother could be here with me, but besides that, my life in Korea is good. I just finished up the best weekend ever. It all started out with a crazy night with Jamie(wait, do I write that every week?). We headed down to Kangnam on Friday night, because I wanted to check out the club scence. He decided to try and save money by preparing drinks for ourselves in my apartment and putting the drinks in juice bottles so we could drink them on the bus(this is actually quite legal to do in Korea, yay for their liberal drinking laws!!!). After a very entertaining bus ride, we arrived in Kangnam.
That is when the search an ATM started. Well, it was a short search because, I forgot that after 11 pm almost every ATM in Seoul stops working till about 5 am. Yep, I had no money and Jamie had only fifty dollars for the both of us. The club entrance fee was $30 for the both of us, so that left us $20 for drinks and a taxi ride home. ~ Time to get out the budget book!!!!!~ Since the drinks in the club were way too expensive we decided to go to the corner store to get more soju and juice. After we mixed our cocktail we decided to walk down the main road until we finished our drinks, of course we took pictures.
Now it is time to hit da club. We decided to start at NB(Noise Basement). This place was so crowded, this was definately the place for the people who really knew how to dance. Jamie fit right in, I just tried to keep up. After we were there for a bit we decided we needed to go get more alcohol. Again we were on a budget, so we left the club and went to another corner store and got a big beer(yummy). We met these randon Korea guys that looked to be about 18, they were funny(I think). While outside my friend TJ messaged me and said he was in Kangnam also and he was going to come meet us. When he got there we decided to go into the next club called Harlem(same owner as NB so you only have to pay one admission and you get both clubs ^.^). Here we met two guys named um... um... actually I am not sure. They were Korean and they were awesome dancers. After dancing with them it was time to leave and go to the soju bar. Yep more SOJU!!!!! Jamie loved the stuff. Right when we got there she was ouring everyones shot glasses and trying to get us all to drink. I decided to wait till our food arrived because I didn't want to die.
Jamie ended up getting wasted from the soju. It's not her fault, she doesn't understand the power of soju. Luckily these guys offered to take us home. They helped me get Jamie into her house and they were so nice. They kept saying they would call us tomorrow. Since we both got so drunk I thought they would definately lose our numbers. I was wrong(Really how often does that happen? hehe).
They called us the next day to go to the Korea University vs Yonsei University soccer game. These are the two biggest rivals and it was an exciting site. They held the game at the old olympic stadium. The place was packed and it was a very different experience. The whole game everyone stoood, and sang and danced. Really the WHOLE TIME! There is no sitting at these games. I had a hard time paying attention to the soccer game and trying to dance and sing. So I just paid attention to the dancing and singing. Here is a clip of the dancing.
The game ended in a tie in the last minute of the game. So everyone rushed the field to sing and danced togther. I could never imagine seeing two rival schools hugging and singing together, but I saw it and it was awesome. James and I went home because we had a long day. The next day was going to be even better because we were going to Everland.

TJ, Me, Jamie and Christy in Everland
I went to Everland with Jamie, Christy and T.J. Everland is kinda like Disneyland. We were expecting long lines, but we lucked out because the place was really dead. The longest we waited for a ride was about 30 minutes. This amusement park was beautiful. I could have been happy just walking around all day looking at everything and watching shows except all of the shows were in Korean. The rides were really good and we had a great day.
Anybody want some Peanut Butterd Squid
3-D Movie in Korean, but it was sooo fun
Wooohhoooo~ We love rides!!!
