So I Friday night I had quite the exciting experience. Lindsey, Cheryl and I went out to dinner at Korean BBQ.... I just cant get enough of it.. its so delish. We had beef this time which has been different from the pork I've been eating. After eating we hung out around the corner where there is a GS25, its kinda like a quickie mart. They are everywhere and you can buy beer there! We were having a few drinks sitting outside on the patio when a few nice Korean men came up to talk. They were asking us a lot of questions and when they found out that Lindsey and I had never been to a nori-bong they decided it was the night to experience it! In Korea Karaoke is a big thing. In fact, they have special bars dedicated to going there just for that purpose. We decided, what the heck why not, and all 5 of us went to go singing!
The Nori-bong is not like a typical karaoke place in the states. You do not have a whole bar watching, with one machine. Instead we took the elevator to the third floor where we were greeted by what looked like a hotel lobby to me. A man with an ear piece escorted us to a private room, with three couches, your own karaoke machine, and lots of beer, whiskey, and a fruit platter. There we sang our little hearts out. I sang Summer of 69, Boom, We Are Young, Living on a Prayer and possibly more, of course with the help of Lindsey and Cheryl. The Korean men sang English love songs.... quite horribly, might I add. It was funny and interesting and a little weird since these guys were complete rando's!
The next day it was Kyle's birthday and Kyle, Danielle, Lindsey and I took the subway to the opposite side of the line to see the Foreigners Cup. Busan played against a team that I cant remember what their name was. The greatest part of watching sports in Korea is that you can bring your own drinks and snack in! We loaded up on beverages at the local GS25 and headed into the stadium.
Here's the stadium, surrounded by mountains, for real could it get more beautiful?! Even with the overcast it was so gorgeous.
In a stadium that seats 30,000 people there were 6 of us in the seats... yeah that's right.... 6. Lol... so we got to choose anywhere we wanted to watch the game. Of course, there were friends of the players by the field... but yes, 6 spectators. It didn't bother us at all and lets face it, you all know how loud I can yell. :) We met some new friends Kayla and Rafaela. After the game we bummed around the area a bit and then decided to take the subway back to KSU, which is the college area in Busan.
We first stopped at a place to eat some food and we were all in love! We ate a pancake filled with kimchi and cheese smothered on top, a whole delicious fish, and an omelets, again smothered in glorious cheese. We drank rice wine and after our fill headed out to a few more bars to celebrate Kyle's birthday! We even played a little beer pong at Thursday Party. After all that fun, we grabbed the last subway home to sleep.
On Sunday, I slept a lot, cleaned my apartment, which is super small so it only took about an hour, and did some grocery shopping. I FOUND A-1 STEAK SAUCE. :) You all know what I'll be doing later, taking swings straight from the bottle. lol... such a strange guilt pleasure of mine. On Sunday, I got a bit lonely. I've never wanted to live by myself. I miss lounging on the couch with Ashley watching Lifetime movies and having random conversations in the kitchen with Clayton. I know it will be okay and I'll adjust living by myself... but I might just have to fill my Sundays with more to do and less time to sit around missing the people I love.
Any who, It's Monday and I wanted to show you my super cuties!!! Here they are!!
