Weekend in Seoul Day Two!

Here we go again on Saturday...Rudy and I got showered and motivated around 7:00 p.m. because we had to meet Zach and others somewhere in Itaewon around 8:30 - 9:00 p.m. Since we are girls it took us a bit longer than expected to get ready, but we eventually left the house and met up with Marco at Orange Lounge around 10:00 p.m. Then Rudy had to leave to go and get Danny. Zach, Mac, Bob and Bob's Korean girlfriend met us at the Orange Lounge. It turned out that there had been a fire on the bars side of the road, so they had no electricity or air conditioning, so there were candles everywhere in order to be able to see. It ended up being so hot and sweaty that we had one drink and left. Rudy decided we should head to Gecko's because it would be cooler and the place was alright to hang out in. Once we got to Gecko's it was crowded, but it was cooler than the Orange Lounge, so we hung out for a bit. Again, we only ended up staying for one drink, I didn't have one, and then we left and headed for Hongdae instead.
We had to take separate cabs because there were 8 of us, so Zach, Rudy, Danny and I shared a cab to the Hongdae 7-eleven where we met up with Marco, Mac, Bob and Bob's girlfriend. Marco took us to a place called Nomad's Pool. However, Mac and I were very disappointed when we walked in and there was no pool...hahaha! It was extremely hot out and we figured a pool would have been perfect, but that was bit too much to ask and expect. Instead, we opted to sit inside where there was air conditioning and have a couple of drinks.

Once we had enough of Nomad's Pool we left and headed to Ska 2 again, because Rudy had bougth flowers for one of the bartenders for her birthday back at Gecko's and we thought we should get them dropped off before they died. When we got to Ska 2 it was actually packed, which was nice to see. However, we still managed to rock it and find table and chair space. I had been drinking for most of the night, so midway through dancing and being drunk I had to escape to 7-eleven and buy some Vitamin C to drink and some water. Mac decided I needed a body guard, so he went with me. I bought him his water to show my appreciation ;) On the way back to the bar I bumped into a bunch of guys I know from back in Incheon. They were way more drunk than I was, so I didn't stop to talk them I just said HI. Back in Ska 2 they were playing some music that I wasn't really digging, so I just sat it out and sang along instead, while still enjoying more beverages. Eventually, Zach, Mac and I were getting sick of the music that was playing because it wasn't danceable, so we went and hung out in the hallway to chill and hope the music got better. The DJ did end up playing some more hip hop, so we danced some more, but then Zach and Mac were tired, so they took off around 4:00 a.m. I also happened to bump into Carmela, Tiffany and Ross at Ska 2, which was awesome, but they didn't stay very long.

Around 5:00 a.m. Rudy and Danny wanted to head out, so we left the club and headed across the street to hang out with Marco and Kyu who were chilling, eating and chatting at a restaurant across from Ska 2. We only stayed there about 30 - 45 minutes before we got kicked out because they were closing. Rudy taking a very close picture of us. We both still look very good for it being around 5:30 a.m.

Hmmmmmmmmmm...Oh My! Very Interesting Marco! I totally posed for this picture in case you hadn't noticed.

Afterwards, we headed to Hongdae park and de-toxified again. Of course, there were more people passed out on the park ledge in true Hongdae fashion. Marco ended up heading home around 6:30 a.m., so Rudy, Danny and I closely followed suit. I got dropped of at Rudy's again, so she could go take Danny home. I hardly slept at all Sunday except for a couple of hours. I didn't leave Itaewon until around 8:00 p.m. I got home shortly after 10:30 p.m. and still couldn't sleep. By the time I finally got to sleep it was after 1:00 a.m.
