Something i believe in...no not fortune cookies, that i will overcome my hardships in life, and in the end i may find happiness, whether i keep it in my life or not is entirely up to me, we all have a choice, and we all make them on a daily basis, this is where the important decisions lay... in what we want and what we will do to make these things come true..Only then will we truly be overwhelmed with happiness...hopefully one day it hits me and never leaves...but then THAT IS ALL UP TO ME ^.^

So we hit up a bar, that apparently is really good ? when we got there, it was so good there was no seats, so we went to another place not too far from it, got some soju bottles, some hite pitchers, and some coke and we were set and ready to begin the drinking lol...started off slowly with some korean games, and some English ones too, id say by far the "dirty signs" game had to be the funniest of the night ~! got to the point where we were standing up and doing the signs and then quickly down for the next person to go ~! hahahaha some of us were getting more wasted then others LOL those who will not be named lol but yeah...had our fun at that bar...after a few bumped tables, some misplaced chairs, and a few broken cups we were onto the next one :) 

NORAEBONG...lol check out the place we hit up ~! alien styles ^.^

after a few drunk songs, a broken soju bottle, 2 broken microphones, and refills on the drinks we were cranking the songs like nobodys business haha yeaaaaa, for about an hour we were good, drinking and singing the korean songs, aw yeaaaaaa lol was good to just sing and drink with some good people, so much funny shit happened here and in between the next place and this one...

So after watching the movie we decided to grab something to eat ~! the first place we walked into, drank the water, and looked at the prices hahaha wow so expensive, i don't normally do it, but we walked out ahahha way to expensive for something we could get around the corner for half the price LOL so after walking as far away as possible from the last place we found somewhere to sit down and get some grub ~!

hmmmmmm Sam giap sal and makoli :) no better way to have dinner, with good friends, so from here we were joined by another Korean counter part :) who was very kinda and coincidentally stayed in New Zealand for a year or so ~! so her english was good, and her humor was even better haha gotta love people who understand us Kiwis lol hard to find people like that here in korea :P

Day 2: of the long weekend

Baseball ~! never get sick of this sport here in Korea and never leave a game un-happy because of the result lol there's no doubt ~! hahaha anyways this game was the Doosan Bears (my team) and the Lotte Giants (team who wears plastic bags on there heads) LOL hi hater ^.^ lol but anyways, got some good seats, right in the back, packed our bags with beer and some good old KFC chicken ~! got our bangers ( the things u hit together) and headed to our seats, we had good seats by the entertainment section this time lol heres the view from our seats...

so this game had all the emotions of a relationship LOL or so i like to compare hahahaah :P check it out 

The build up - Going to the game was like going to a date, expecting big things and nothing but fireworks and butterflies lol 

The fairy tail beginning, so we started off good, a few home runs and we were in there with the chants the screams and the laughter :) enjoying the moment ~! 

Then all of a sudden the other team scores 3 home runs in one innings, its like coming back down to earth and realizing things aren't as good as they once were 

the good and the bad, so by now the beers kicking in, and emotions are running wild, the score is going back and fourth and its so damn close ~! literally sitting on the edge of chairs ~! 

The Final moment - bottom of the 8th were ahead by One...and we change our pitcher, who just went 3 innings without conceding any runs....WHAT A FCUKN crucial mistake hahahaha so like some relationships it went down hill we lost the game and we all left semi mad hahahaa but ohwell ~! definitely a dope as experience hahahaha yeaaaaa check out the picture of despair 

Peoples hands on their heads and what not lol 

Ohwell was a good game :) enjoyed it none the less, lets hope they win the next one or else im gonna be pissed hahahah ~! heres our little crowd that went :)

Started off with some frozen coke yagers, lol thats what i call them coz thats what they looked like, hit up a room with alotta people and started jamming away...

After some hard core jumping around and working up a sweat, we chilled to some more of this music, and had a look around, they had kebab stands there, that smelt so good, nachos, chili fries, so after stocking up on some food we were on the move again...Jumping from one place to the next..heres some pics from the outside ~! 

After a solid 6-7 hours we were ready to head home, and by this time the rain started pouring down, it wasn't to badd lol so was walkable, here's the funniest thing, heading back to Seoul with everyone else who was at the festival, if u can't imagine a whole bunch of people cramming onto the train then here's a photo to help ur imagination lol...Enjoy, this was the end of Day 1 of this long and most joyful weekend ~!
