Naju in the House!!! / We found Mark Freeman!

Another solid weekend that will take us a week to recover from. Bless this place! Our friends from orientation, Stuart and Max, came down from Naju (1 hour north by bus) on Friday night.
Of course the best part of going out on a Friday is that you feel like you've added another day to your weekend! One drawback is that a night out in Mokpo doesn't usually start until midnight, and runs well into Saturday. 2 bars, a billion beers and a pitcher of long island ice tea later, we were leaving a bar called "New York" for home.

Lesson of the night: Getting Leah Nebucett into a cab is like catching the wind... You never really have a chance because once you take your eye off her, she's off talking/dancing/handstanding with some stranger on the street. Total time to take Leah from the bar, 15 feet to street to catch a cab: 1.5 hours.

Saturday afternoon was capped off by the arrival of the legendary Mark "I'm really as amazing a person as Brent's mother says" Freeman. Mark took the KTX train in from just outside of Seoul (37°20'0.22"N, 127°15'42.93"E). We spent the afternoon catching up with Mark, checking out the HIGHLY over-rated Peace Square, "Eye shopping" at Lotte Mart, eating Samgyopsal (thick bacon strips you fry yourself at your table, cut into small bites and wrap in onion, red pepper sauce and romaine lettuce leaves) and then mosying over to P-club - the foreigner bar for some drinks... until 3am.

On Sunday, Mark, Max, Stuart, Steph and I headed to Mt. Yudal (for our 4th time - yeah, it's worth it) for a hike to the peak and then a march around old downtown, before we sent the boys home for the weekend. Now, all I want is a little sleep! Thanks for the awesome weekend guys!
