Seoul Style!

A couple of weeks ago I decided to head to Seoul to spend the weekend with my friend Carmela. She use to live/teach in Incheon last year, but since she moved to Seoul in March we hardly see each other, so a weekend hanging out with her was long overdue. We started Friday night off chilling out at her place and making bruschetta for the mini-dinner party her and her Hoegi friends were having. The dinner was at her friend/neighbour Jaclyn's house where we were joined by Marius, Sae Min and Sae Min's friend Ocean.

Jaclyn, Marius and I enjoying all the delicious foods that were prepared.

We had a few pre-drinks and a dance party after dinner before heading out for the night. The six of us all headed to Gangnam to meet up with some Korean friends to join in on the drinking with. We met them all at a place called 'Fish and Grill', which is one of my favorite places to drink at.

Not the best picture of our side of the table, but Marius and I have the best friend hug down perfectly.

Carmela's side of the table was much more prepared and into the picture.

When we had all had enough of 'Fish and Grill' some people headed home, while others, Carmela and myself headed next door to Noise Basement.

Carmela and I so happy we finally got to hang out.

Carmela and I with some friends from 'Fish and Grill' at Noise Basement. I feel bad I forgot their names.

This guy told me he was a hockey player. I almost died at the thought of a Korean playing hockey.

When a friend drinks too much and passes out at the bar what do you do?? Take pictures with them that they have no idea about.

Carmela and I together at last and loving every second of it.

I forget this guys name as well, but he was fun and a good dancer.

These two guys were busting some serious moves on the dance floor, so I decided to get a picture with them.

We finished at Noise Basement very early in the morning, lets just say the sun was coming up. Carmela ended up drinking way more than she could handle, so she got sick.

Saturday we slept in because we were hungover and didn't have any desire to leave our beds or the house. Marius came over and we ordered chicken and watched a Korean movie, which then turned into a nap. Carmela and I finally left the house around 5:30PM and headed to Myeongdong to do some shopping. We shopped for a few hours and ate some dinner before heading back to Carmela's to take another nap and then head out again. We headed to Itaewon to meet Jaclyn, Marius and Ocean.

At the jazz bar where we met them I saw this sign and it made me smile. "For the clean hands" - only in Korea where they are scared to death of Swine Flu.

It didn't end up being that late of a night for us, which was nice because I hate heading back to Incheon hungover and tired. Sunday, Carmela took Marius and I to this American breakfast style restaurant called, 'Butter fingers' in Apgujeong. The wait was long, but totally worth it.

This was the delicious waffle breakfast I ordered and it tasted as good as it looks.

When we finished breakfast we wandered through Apgujeong. I decided to get another piercing in my ear and it probably won't be the last one I get here. We headed back to Carmela's after ward, so I could grab my stuff and head home to Incheon. Weekend in Seoul, successful - check!
