This was a really fun and busy weekend! Friday night we went out to a restaurant with new friends, Misty and Brian. They're a couple from Atlanta and have been in Korea for a year and prior to that, they taught in Spain. After dinner, we went to a hookah bar and had a little too much seju. Seju is very similar to soju, but the taste is a bit sweeter and tastes less like rubbing alcohol. After a couple hours, we headed over to the noory bar and belted out a few songs. We won't torture you with any videos (although there are plenty) except for our 10 second dedication to Ellen with our (very poor) rendition of Tomorrow. We can't wait to come home and go to the noory bar with all of you. It just might be one of our new favourite hobbies!
Saturday night we went to a Halloween party at a foreigner's apartment and then to one of the foreigner bars downtown. We only stayed at the bar for about 10 minutes, mostly in part because of my paranoia that we would win best costume. One of the bartenders had come around and asked for our names. Then some guy got on the microphone and called out the nominations for "sexiest costume." Four girls were chosen and had to stand on a table and the audience had to cheer for which costume they thought was best. Because the audience cheered equally for all four of them, the girls had to do a dance-off. For MaryAnne this would not have been a problem, but there's not enough sojo OR seju in the world that could get me to do that.
Today, we went to the grocery store and bought all of the ingredients to make a Korean traditional stew. MaryAnne has been become quite a fan of this Korean chef on YouTube and is in the process of making the dinner right now. We realize we've been really negligent in making videos, but there is now new inspiration with MaryAnne's adventures in Korean cooking.
Today is November 1st and I am covered in mosquito bites and still wearing shorts and tshirts. It's very strange.
