Day 11 - Some boozy days

On friday Jim, Steve, Christine and I went hat shopping in Eedae, wandering around the malls and such. After lunch, as we were walking to the Subway stop, Steve suddenly threw up in the street, which was a little odd. Jim and I thought he was just reading something, so we left Christine to deal with him, which on reflection was a little unfair.

Leo and I went to try and watch Transformers at the IMAX in Yongsan, but they wouldn't let us in even though it only started 10 minutes before we got there. We went to the electronics market, but that had all shut, however we did see loads of homeless guys building cardboard coffins to sleep in, many of which were very technical and impressive. Afterwards we drank a load of Soju with Danny in the hostel, and went out to Noise Basement, a club in Hongdae. It was rammed, but really cool - I met a girl in the queue called Michelle, who was from Luxembourg, and who knew Hannah Nerl, who was on my physics course at Uni! Luxembourg is very small, I suppose. Met quite a few cool people in there, although it was unfeasibly hot and sweaty.

I woke up somewhat disoriented and went for a walk, and on my way home I bumped into Jim in the toilet in Hapjeong station. We went out for some food, and ended up going to Mister Donut, and then a Japanese place. We are the most marvellous couple in all of Seoul, or at least we shall be when we are wed (We keep finding ourselves in date situations, eg. on the tandem the other day).

Last night we went to a place called Boom Bar, where they had free drinks for two hours, and free entry for non-koreans! It was full of westerners, all taking full advantage of the free drinks. Henry managed to nail about 10-12 pints in an hour and a half, rendering him utterly bananas. As a result, we have a hell of a lot of new book entries. There was a prize draw which Christine won, meaning she had to enter an enforced dance contest - she pulled out the robot, and won a bottle of J & B whisky, which I think we may get to drink...

Henry insisted we leave to make sure we had enough time to watch the rugby, which we did in a place called Watt's On Tap. It was (obviously) somewhat disappointing, but the taxi back was ridiculous, mainly due to Henry's propensity to speak absolute nonsense pretty much continually.

Might try for transformers again today, although we do have 5 episodes of neighbours to catch up on...

Oh, also, we had a communal nap yesterday evening, along with the swedish girl from our room. Very relaxing, although a little odd.
