I went to Seoul this weekend with my roommate Meg. Our ultimate goal was shopping with a side goal of hanging out with dudes that we met in Yeosu a month or so ago.
So we get to Seoul around 4 on Saturday and we go to Forever 21. I know you're thinking I should be shopping in traditional Korean shopping outlets, and I assure you that I do 95% of the time, but there's something about Western sizes that is too tempting to resist sometimes.
So we have clothes in our baskets and we're so excited to try them on when the one Korean dude calls Meg and is like "meet us immediately now by the subway." So we're like "uhh....." and then we hesistently put the clothes back on their shelves and go meet the dudes.
We go for dinner and notice the one dude is carrying around headphones in a white bag that he tells us cost him 35,000 won and I say "damn, that's expensive for headphones." And he says "No! It's a good deal." He was very excited about the headphones.
As the night goes on I'm out-drinking everyone as usual and still remain the most sober of the four of us (thank you Penn State) and we end up at a Makkoli bar. I hadn't had Makkoli yet so was excited to try it, especially after my palatable experience with Sake a few weeks prior. Apparently, Makkoli is drunk out of a bowl. So we're sitting there, literally drinking bowls of alcohol and I'm finding this to be absolutely hilarious. Did I mention there was a huge artificially tree in the middle of the bar, just there for no reason? This bar was great.
Finally we get back to our hotel and the dudes accompany us. When they leave the one dude forgets his headphones (not the headphones!). So Meg texts him to tell him.
Meg: "Hey, your friend forgot his headphones, we'll leave them at the front desk of the hotel."
Jay: "That is the kindest, most inspiring thing I have ever heard, that is so incredibly kind, I am touched by your kindness."
Meg: "Umm......ok....."
My guess is he couldn't handle the bowls of alcohol, otherwise, what?
