St Patricks Day in Korea... Just didn't feel right....

I'm about two weeks behind schedule on this one... but ah well... I'm hoping to catch up on my blogs tonight.... For St. Patty's day Laura and I met up with a couple from Windsor that we're friends with.... Nick and Nicole... We checked out their palace (which is huge)... MASSIVE compared to where I live.... and also checked out Haeundae beach which is only 2 subway stops from their mansion.... The beach is really nice and I'll be posting a separate blog about that in a few mins... We ended up at a bar called O'Briens... yeah.. O'Go-figure... it was ST PATTYS DAY!... It should've been called O'Let's-Cram-300-White-People-In-a-bar-and-light-9000-cigarettes-as-incense... Anyways... we drank a few beers and ate hot-dogs and french fries which was a nice change of pace from the seaweed and rice i've been snacking on lately... you'd think i'd be losing weight b/c of my diet here and the fact that i walk 40000 stairs a day... but i just eat more to make up for it... maybe more... The best thing about the night was the music... A guy named Anthony Garcia and his girlfriend (who are both english teachers for the public system) are great guitarists and extremely talented musicians in general... They also gave out guinness gear in the form of playing cards and beach towels... the beach towel will come in handy because koreans only use face towels when they get out of the shower... for their bodies... probably because their bodies are about the size of my face... weeee little men.... okay... i'm digressing.... actually.. that's all i do... here's some pics of the rest of the night...
