absolutely ghoolish

Well this past Friday was the first time, without any setbacks, i have been able to get absolutely shitfaced. I was looking forward to this occasion because it coincidentally was the same night as Halloween. Which required further preparation for the event, because there is only one thing better than getting absolutely hammered, its getting absolutely hammered in a princess outfit. So Duck and I went to the local Lotte mart that Thursday night to prepare our costumes. So after a good 30 minutes of looking at our various options, i settled on a tiny princess costume, and duck was going to be my knight in shining armour.

So on that Friday, much had to be accomplished before i could start my booze parade, first i have a "job", so i had to teach for a couple of hours. Then after that my school went on a hiking trip, on top of geomjoeng mnt. the very same mountain that my school is on. The hiking trip was fun we captured some incredible views, learned of geumjoeng mnt., and saw a very old Buddhist temple. After the hike down the mountain, into a part of the city I had never been to before, but is the "sports complex" area of Pusan. It holds the baseball stadium, soccer stadium, and the site for the 2006 Asian Olympic games, but we were their to play sports. We were there to eat, and Drink, so "sports complex" is where my pregaming took place. Our group, of about 15 or 20 members, was served a very delicious Korean BBQ (thumb size pieces of meat that you wrap in leafs). So we had BBQ and many, many shots of Soju, which it is not uncommon to get drunk on a faculty dinner trip, I actually think its expected.

After dinner i made the short bus trip home and found Duck sitting on the couch drunker and she was than i was. So after a very short shower and a long subway trip to Brian and Jess' place. We were ready to make the transition from a heavy buzz into a full blown drunk, and i accomplished that feet with style and efficiency. So we met our counterparts Brian, Jess, and Yoen-Je at the apartment. Then we went out to eat at a small restaurant (I concentrated on the Soju), then we went to Soju Bar. This place was extremely small, but stylish and hip, we then consumed copious amounts of Soju, we toasted about 100 times and i never missed a one. We also met up with another one of Brian's co-workers Suny, she was very fun and drinks without eating,(yoen-je says) which is strange here.

After Soju bar, Suny wanted to go to a nordy-bong, strict translation is karaoke bar. This place was so funny, if anyone has ever been to Helen, Georgia then you know what this place looked like. It was the funniest German aesthetics as you could imagine, and suny arranged for a private room (which is the only thing avialable) just for the group. I only remember bits and pieces at this point, i was extremely intoxicated, but i could still sing my tiny heart out. So after the karaoke we went to a place called Vinyl underground, which had contest competition, but instead of listing my costumes name I instead wrote David Laggis. But yea i don't remember anything from that point on until i woke up the next morning.

All and all it was a greeeaaaat night.
