Soju is most def. not water

Friday night was without a doubt the greatest night of my life. Hard to believe since I've gotten to K-Town but true. What happened? I can try to tell you but let's start off by saying that none of us (Erin, Andrew, Bequer, and I) had EVER had Soju. We had no idea of it's effects. Also, Soju tastes exactly like water with a drop of Vodka in it. So it's completely understandable not knowing what it can do to you. 

So what happened? Sure you want to know? I will tell you what I can remember. It's almost like The Hangover. I don't remember pieces but looking at the pictures I'm like "Oohhh Merde". So enjoy:

After a rough day of work we left our school at 9:30 PM. We then started walking around looking for a place to eat. FYI- Koreans were everywhere!!!! So we went to Kraze Burger. Bequer and I shared french fries cause we had had dinner a bit before. Andrew had a Kraze Burger that really wasn't that crazy by American standards and Erin had a beer and some fries. Overall good food with good friends. From there we started walking to the party district. Along the way random Koreans would scream "Hello!!!" and "Happy New Year". Other Koreans would sit and stare or wave at us from restaurants. It was like we were celebrities. At first it's very very weird but then you just go with it. I said that we were the traveling the United Nations. We were representing all the colors of the rainbow and all the people of the world. Andrew represented North America. Bequer South America, Erin Europe, and I Africa (you will see why I say that later). 

We all end up in the party district and it is crazy. People are everywhere some are drunk others are screaming, yelling at each other. There's tons of lights and signs blinking. Music is roaring out of everywhere. As we were walking down one street we stop and try to figure out where we want to go. At that moment I see more Koreans looking at us from a restaurant. They are laughing, pointing, and waving. I then wave back. They crack up and start waving more. We all then start waving and cracking up cause it was soo weird! Bequer then motions for them to come here. One of them does! He says his name is M.J. and that he wanted us to join his friends. Apparently they love America and they thought we looked fun. I remember that we went into the restaurant where we met his girlfriend Christina (she said I reminded her of Will Smith when she saw me, huh.) and her bff Gina. They asked us if we wanted to have a drink and immediately Erina and I said "Soju". They were like "You have to have Soju across the street" and then they said "we will take you". We all get up and go across the street where they ordered a feast for kings. Enough booze for a serious party but I figure since it's Soju it can't be that bad. After the 5th shot I can say that you don't really feel anything. So you think it's not that bad. OMG- then it hits you like a freight train. I remember lots of singing, high fiving, and Bequer getting touchy feely with Erin. After all that we got out of there around 2-3AM. It was a TON of fun. I remember Gina and Christina and I were BFF's by the end of the night. We hugged a million times and exchanged phone numbers/e-mails/skype/Facebook info. 

At this point random people were gathering around us saying "Hello" and "I love hip-hop". We all kept getting high-fived by random strangers. Too Much Fun. We decided to go Karaoke'ing. It's almost an addiction in Korea. We went to one of the many many places and payed $20 for an hour. We got a swanky room with tons of music and two mic's. We sang, danced and eventually broke glassware. It was too much. By this time my voice was gone and I had zero energy. The people at that place gave us 10 free minutes cause they liked us so much. Eventually we caught a cab where the cab driver was a regular chatty cathy. Before we drove away, we watched as Bequer fell on the ice. Too funny.

This morning I realized that I don't remember many details but I do remember that we had a lot of fun. Apparently the girls have added me to their Skype. Oh- we got home at 4AM. Luckily we had the codes for all the doors in the building and the front door. FYI- in Korea a lot of the newer buildings have key pads for the doors in case you don't have a key. We managed to get in quietly. Nice.

We woke up this morning and Erin says "we sound like phone sex operators" cause our voices were deep and very husky. LMAO.

Well I better be going cause we are meeting the guys in 1 hr so that they can show us the city and the subway system. Adios!
