T.G.I don't wanna go

This could well be my last post here in Korea for I am back, well, pretty soon.  Lately however I've been sticking on a bit of the Korea telly to see what's going down. Obviously only the most important of programmes will be considered for translation into another language. Pokemon, of course, is an obvious choice (caught an episode of that, properly bad ass). But I was ashamed of myself that I hadn't priorly considered the ABSOLUTE GEM that is Dick and Dom Go Wild to hit foreign shores. All you Brits will be disappointed to hear that they didn't keep with the pre-adolescent voice of Dom, but made him sound like he could actually pass for 20. Terrible.

Went to a global friendship fair thing. I don't know what that meant really, but it was pretty much people selling their native food at these stalls. Naturally went over to the British stall, was glad to see that our 'food' on offer was a can of Boddingtons and a Bishop's finger. That sums it up really. Our stall was also the only stall where you got to see how to consume the foreign food like a native - there was a fat man with white hair, a red nose, straw hat, white and blue chequered shirt, sitting on his own at the back with a pint in hand. Was just like I was in Somerset. There was a Russian group playing some music, so gave that a listen. I felt bad for them, because on the encore this Korean middle aged man got up and totally stole the show by performing a dance routine best described as the 'rhythmic-body-spasm-with-occasional-slapping-of-bum'.

Sod's law ain't it. All football teams that I have a mild affiliation for, not only the beloved Newport County, have done pretty good since I left the country. Managed to persuade my mate to stay up late with me at his swanky apartment to watch the game on his swanky television. Swanky. We both woke up our Korean mate, who gave it a decent shot but his interest in 5th tier English Football left a lot to be desired, by jumping up and down screaming at 2 in the morning as Newport won the game to get promoted. Mmrs.

Got a new hang out. TGI fridays. The reason being that they have this outrageous promotion (which has been going for ages apparently) that a 400ml beer is about 60p. HAT DAYUM. I think you're supposed to order food, which is expensive, but we don't. Well that's not true, if we're feeling really guilty then we get the cheapest starter there is which isn't much. Don't feel guilty often either. In Korea sometimes you get 'service' which is usually a little food item, however we've been going to TGI's so much and just buying beer that I think the bar staff quite like us and give us outrageous amounts of service. Last time we went, spent a quid 20 on some beer and a long with that got some cheesey nachos, nice fresh bread and a bowl of ice cream. Very good.

I'm now in the last week of my stay. I won't take long before the tears start (I saw my best friend with a gun shot through the heart [Christopher George Latore Wallace a.k.a Notorious BIG, 1994]). See you soon Blighty.
