Last night was the Halloween Party at Club Connection, which is a bar in downtown Donghae that a guy named Mini owns. The people that go there are mainly foreigners, and so it was really neat being in the same room as people from South Africa, England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and Australia. I talked to a lot of really interesting people with lots of opinions that were vocalized more than normal with assistance from our friend, alcohol. It's an interesting sight to see- when a guy in a cardboard robot costume is serving drinks to Scooby-Doo, Charlie Chaplin, Cruella DeVille, Siamese twins, and a construction dummy at the same time. In Korea, instead of having flaggers everywhere that there is construction, they have these robotic dummies dressed up in construction clothing that are just waving a lighted up stick. They are the creepiest things ever, so it was a great Halloween costume. The guy who wore it got voted best costume and won a bottle of Tequila, which he shared with everyone.
Oh, and Uncle Jamie did go as a school girl. How cute.
Today, Saturday, we were planning on going to Gangneung, and going to another temple, but it was really rainy and we all felt like laying low. So we went to get lunch and then went to a really neat coffee shop called TerraRosa, where they roast their own coffee (rare in Korea) and bake their own bread.
(The perfect latte- and pretty, too!)
Tonight we're just hanging out and playing wii- Frazer, one of Jamie's friends, came over and right now they're having hardcore Ninja Turtle duels.
(Caution- mild swearing.)
Anyways, that's all. Tomorrow we go to Seorak San, which should be pretty.
Breakfast: Cookie!
Lunch: Dol sat bi bim bap (My favourite korean food. It was my idea. Yay.)
Dinner: Sweet Potato Pizza. (Haha- not exactly traditional, but it is specific to Korea!)
