Annie just arrived three weeks ago from Cambridge. She was hired at Wilshire Daeyon campus. So last night the Seomyeon crew (John, Neil and myself) took her out for a few drinks around Seomyeon. First we went to some self-serve bar called Birra where the beers were in the middle of the table, and when you wanted a drink, you helped yourself. The end of the night the barkeep tallies up the bottles. Not only was this super cool but the beer selection was great. We had choices other than Korean beers. I drank Molson,Zipfer and Hoegaadren. (Molson was the only Canadian beer on the list)
The woman’s bathroom was hilarious. Mirrors covered everything but the floor. We had to take a few pictures. In the comparison, the men’s washroom was a typical dirty stall.
After our beers, we went over to Hollywood Star so I could get my groove on for a couple dances. On the way there, John decided to try some bongdaegi, live silkworm. If the smell doesn’t kill you, I’m sure the taste would. It’s a favorite snack here. Never on my life would I ever try it. As you can see in the pictures, the three of them are loving it. Annie tried a piece too but she ate it too quickly so I couldn’t take her picture. She said she’ll have to try it again. It totally grosses me out. I can’t believe people eat that crap.
We stayed at Hollywood for only a short time. Of course no one wanted to dance. But I knew John would dance after he had a few more drinks. Then off we went to Obriens for our last call. It was a fun night. Neil and Tae eun got really hammered, and the rest of just watched and laughed. John walked back to Seomyeon with me so he could pick up his motorcycle that he just bought. Unfortunately for him it wouldn’t start. That’s probably not what you want to face at 330 in the morning.
