Korean Basketball

Aaaahhh...what a lovely weekend! Friday night Kelly came down and we met up with some of my friends before heading toThe Roccsin in Anyang. This bar hosts an open mic night every other Friday, and it was packed with English teachers. Most of the bands were Koreans jamming out to American covers, so it was quite amusing. We then headed to our favorite dive, Techno Bar, for some late night dancing.

Kelly stayed over Friday night, and Saturday afternoon we went to a professional basketball game. There are about ten teams in the Korean league, and one of the teams happens to be the Anyang Stars. The center was surprisingly small, but very packed with loudly-cheering Korean fans. We were, without a doubt, the only whities in the joint, but we had a blast, nonetheless, and the Stars won!

Believe it or not, Saturday night I actually had a real date...not a common occurrence around here, to say the very least. I had met a guy in the military a couple months ago and sort of blew him off. I ran into him again last weekend, and he basically informed me that he was taking me out to dinner, so I accepted. We met in Itaewon, and I do realize this makes me every man's nightmare, but I brought a girlfriend of mine as chaperone. A male friend of hers met us up, so we ended up having a somewhat double date.

Sunday was a nice relaxing day, with dinner with my friend Ryan and his pal who's visiting from the States. I am excitingly looking forward to a new week with all my new classes.
