Another weekend, another adventure

Everything is great here in South Korea. This past weekend was an enjoyable weekend, as usual. We hung out with Leah and Andy on Friday night, made some pottery and chilled outside on Saturday and Saturday night consisted of going to meet a bunch of our friends from home at a Canadian bar called "Rocky Mountain" in Itewan. These friends were our good old buddies from Laurier; Marois, Josh and Marois's buddy Eamon from Aussie. It was a great time and the three story bar was really cool because it was a taste of home. There were license plates from every province and territory bordering the walls of the bar, Canadian sports jerseys hanging from the ceiling, a rooftop patio and a band playing on the second floor. Ian and I even got a "Montreal style" poutine and every bite was amazing!

Sunday we went with 10 friends to a Korean baseball game. We were with Leah and Andy from our school, some mutual friends from Laurier, and some other Laurier people; Susie, Vern, Marois and Aussie Eamon. The game was so much fun, we were out of our seats cheering the entire time for our favourite team, The Doosan Bears. An "inspirational" quote flashed along the screen several times throughout the game, reading: "Doosan Bears is my life." Hilarious. Anyways, the game was so much fun and it was great to have such a large group of people together so we decided to head to Itewan again. I am not sure if we have described Itewan other then calling it the "Foreigners District", but there is a U.S military base there so there are lots of North American goodies. I was SO exicted when I found cans of Diet Pepsi to buy on the side of the street. There are rumours we can find Kraft Dinner there as well! There are tons of different kinds of bars and ethnic restuarants and you can even get pitas there.

So this time we went to a bar called "The Bungalow". It was a wooden, three level candle-lit bar with sand on the floor, Muskoka chairs, Jacuzzis, tons of private areas as well as a rooftop patio. (It was awesome! I will post the pictures soon!) I was also really excited because I bought a wool shawl and a necklace made of bone from the street vender's.

We are hoping everything is great, wherever you are reading this from! Stay tuned for more adventures and please drop us a line! Cheers!
