the WA Bar

The WA Bar is a "western ice bar"... you may recall it from the last time i visited Kat in Ulsan... it's where we met chris... anyway, we went out for a few pints and of course, every foreigner (okay there were only two) that passed by had to come talk to us... why is it always the sleazy ones? they kept grabbing at my camera so i took a picture of them and put it away... these russian guys were really slimy... one (blue jacket) had all gold teethe except the front four. not the kind of people that i want to associate with. they tried to sit with us, but i told them no... and then said "bye, bye" - they got the hint and left...

we finally got hungry (after that big lunch, it took a while...) and decided to get some "western food" - read fries and wings... way too expensive, but we were comfortable... these are the menu shots... i thought it would be neat to compare them with the real thing...

this is what came to our table. we even got mayonnaise for the fries!!! talk about a fatening day! good thing we climbed that mountain the next day! (promise it's coming up! next actually - or maybe you're reading these backwards and have already read that bit...)


me and kat at the WA Bar:chris had to work until around ten but came and met up with us after... no pics of him... sorry.... but we did meet Alex (Park Noh Sung)...
looks like he's trying to cop a feel, but his fiance was at the next table over. anyway, he was a riot, and we thought he worked for Hyundai, but now we're not sure... he said that he designed the Sorento but Hyundai doesn't make the Sorento... maybe he designed the engine? anyway, he was way too drunk, but very enthusiatic about speaking english with us. he's been to the States - San Fransisco - and so has Kat so they had a nice chat about it, until he started telling us about the seals... it was the funniest thing i've seen in ages! he was barking like a seal and bouncing up and down on his chair... and kept doing it for way longer than he should have!!! it was great! finally he just got up and walked away... he started walking down the street and his fiance had to go running after him... then he wandered into the street and almost got hit by car... she finally got him into a cab and they were gone... the really surprising part was that he was out with his boss! too much beer can sometimes be a very very bad thing... but we already knew that right?

i'm off now to see king suro again... gotta show kat the sights of gimhae... we're off to the beer and girls for a drink with chris and lois tonight... more to come soon! keep watching for the post on the mountain that nearly killed me....
