Korean Clubs. . .

Where to begin. . . well today Robert was at our school visiting Charlie he was a teacher here in Korea and is now married to a Korean woman and lives in San Francisco. He left Seoul in the winter of 2003, but today he was here to visit. So today was diary day, Wednesday, which is a pretty day. Today was no exception and it went pretty fast,which is good. I ate a Korean meal by myself because every Wednesday the girl from Canada goes to McDonalds, but I like Korean food better now so I ate that. Well I figured we would go out after work. . .

We met my boss and the old teacher at a Korean style restaurant after work. We started the festivities with his son and wife there of course with some soju (the Korean national liquor). Then we left there at about 11 and his wife and son left and we went to a Korean club, that was interesting. They played Western style music the whole time and of course we drunk Soju (maybe too much and had some fruit and some more food). Koreans like to eat. The really interesting/scary/funny part is that my boss tried to hook me up the whole night with some Korean girls. Do you know what that means? Well at one point the girl from Canada went to the bathroom and when she came back one of the hostess was bringing a Korean girl to take her spot next to me. Apparently if you talk to the girl and have a good conversation you can pretty much leave with her and do anything you want with them. My boss is like 42 years old, yikes, and the Canadian girl almost freaked out while the Korean teachers were laughing. I had no idea what was going on and was quit freaked out myself. They tried this several times and my boss was lassoing them like cattle on the dance floor to me. I was quit tipsy off of the soju though, but none of the girls spoke English and were quit immature. Apparently, in Korea it isn't like a prostitute it is normal culture, it is just to help you feel not so lonely. Fortunately for me, I didn't bring anyone home with me, but clubbing in Korea was definitely a new experience for me!
