Funny Korean things

The quirks of living in a different culture. Observations you may find amusing:
1. Korean motels have completly covered paring lots so that Korean wifes can't see their husband's car if they are having an affair at the motel.
2. The T.G.I.Fridays menu is almost exactly the same, but with a Korean section on it also. I think the servers wear even more flare.
3. Many toilets have an electronic bidet built in. I learned this the hard way.
4. Many students go to school for 13 hours per day. They go to an academy for English at night. Then they fall asleep in class the next day.
5. Some older Koreans think that if you have blonde hair you are a prostitute.
6. Some Korean pizza is made with pumpkin. They also like to put pickles on it.
7. If you go into a small shop and they know you are American you better buy something. The sales people are like Vultures. Every store is like the Buckle in that respect.
8. Beer and liquor are cheaper than water.
9. Koreans are very concerned with image. Fashion is extremly important here. Koeans never scrub it (unfortunatly).
10. Koeans drive like bats out of hell. The roads are narrow and many one ways streets are not labled as such. I'm glad I'm not driving here. Reminds me of Chicago.

Carnie Station is evil

Last night many of us went for a night on the town. We went to a restaurant called Carnie Station, which is all you can eat AND DRINK for $22. Turns out I can eat and drink a lot. Who knew? The food was awesome. We had our own personal grill in the table and you can pick your meat to throw on it. There is Korean as well as American food (I had a taco). The problem with unlimited whiskey is that I was tanked by 11:00. After that we went clubbing until 4:30am. I met some interesting characters. Some random army guy gave me a stuffed animal he won outside and I didn't even know his name. I was also solicited by a prostitute. The girl in this picture was all about dancing with me to the point where I was trying to get away from her. All in all it was a successful night.
