g & t, fire, and newness...

another weekend has passed. i've only got about four left in korea, so making the most of them is pretty important. on friday i went to mr. parks (of a hobo-christmas fame) to hang out with brandy and a bunch of other waegooks... at around 1 am kim and i decided to go shopping at the "trial mart" next door for some shirts. this is one that we both bought:

HAHAAHAHAAHA!!!! you thought it said "poopie", didn't you!?!? i love korean shirts!

on saturday i went out for a nice dinner with kim and scott (who is new in town and knows kim from back home), then we went to the "cockstail" bar near kim's house. i'd never been before, though i have been to the one near my house... this one was much nicer.

it was nice to go out somewhere that you could drink something other than beer. (korean beer doesn't sit well with me, and lots of bars don't have mixed drinks.) it was a nice place too - plush and comfy chairs replaced little stools, dim atmospheric lighting, and the best part, a bar show. yes, the bartenders throwing bottles around.

they started light with just a plain bottle. then they added light sticks to the bottles, then sparklers, and finally full on flames. it was cool. here are some pictures.

pretty cool flames

more cool flames.

this was a guy blowing fire.

these are the addictive deep fried spaghetti and seaweed snacks - provided free of charge!

i stayed out WAY too late, but it was a really good time. lots of good friends and lots of gin and tonic. i can only hope that the rest of my weekends in korea are as good as this one was.
