Weekend Visitors

This weekend, I had two friends from Incheon come visit, Patrick and Evan. Our group of Brian, Emily, Alex, Alli, and I met them at the terminal Friday evening. We grabbed a drink at one of the terminal's bars, and headed to Sangmu for the night. We met up with Patrick's friend Jennifer and had some 소주 하고 맥주. Patrick played an outdoor arcade game, and won 4 giant lighters, which he has hopefully given to Joseph.

We played a fun game with chopsticks late Friday night. Each person gets one. Someone says a sentence like "Most likely to... wear velcro shoes!" and you tap the chopstick 3 times and point to somone. The person with the most chopsticks pointing at them has to drink. It was a good time.

I made Patrick wake up early Saturday morning because I didn't want him to be late for his "guys day." The four guys went paintballing with about 40 other EPIK teachers in Gwangju. I spent the day relaxing at home. At aroudn 5:30, I picked Patrick up from the bus stop, and he was covered in paint. He talked about his day for like 30 minutes in GREAT DETAIL. You could tell he had a blast his first time paintballing. We had some dinner, and met up with the rest of the group at the Ice Bar. I asked Alli and Emily how much they heard about paintballing, and we just groaned. With the 4 boys together again, we had to hear all the stories again! My ears hurt just thinking about it!

Here's us at the ice bar:



We went to club Houze later on. The DJ was fantasic, the best I'd ever heard there. Patrick told me Sunday morning that it was the best club he'd been to in Korea so far! I'm glad they had fun.

Sunday we all met again at the bus terminal for some Coldstone... yum! Evan and Patrick got on their bus back to Incheon around 4:50 pm. I got a call around 11:15 from Patrick saying they had JUST gotten off the bus in Incheon. For some reason, the traffic was really bad and their 3.5 hour trip turned into 6.5 hours!

Hopefully the fun weekend was worth that painful bus ride!
