Steve tells joke, bombs miserably!

We were lucky little campers to have the pleasure of having April come and visit us from Suncheon on Saturday... The problem is that she brought Steve along with her! Damn!

As everyone who reads the blog regularly knows, Steve is the author of the wildly popular series - "Uncle Steve's Story Time". Have no worries, fans... Steve has a new piece coming soon!

After shooting the breeze, we took April and Steve to our default visitor destination - Yudal Mountain. It really is an amazing sight, and gives a great view of the entire city. Korean hikers were out in droves, and were snoffling back silk worm grubs and miniature sea creatures on their way up. Stephanie, was accompanied by her new purse (an odd sight for a hike) and was seen gazing lovingly at it for long periods of time. Get a room Steph!

Leaving the mountain, we quickly made our way to the old downtown to pick up a few of the outrageous t-shirts you definitely can't find in Canada! Most either are splattered with lobotomized sentences which make no sense or they have rude/inappropriate sayings on them (which the Koreans don't understand). I purchased one for my sister to be sent in the mail. We made it home just as the afternoon storm hit. One of the taxi drivers called it either a Hurricane or a "Burger King" according to April.


Our night started at 8:30 with the addition of Max and Warren and saw us watch the England soccer game on a 13 inch TV at a great pub; the Wa-bar. The Wa-bar has foreign beers for a small fortune (Hoegaarten was $5.50 for a bottle) or draft ($3.50 for a 640CC tall glass). The night continued at the P-club, the local foreigner bar, and before we knew it, it was 5am. Ouch.

We were surprisingly limber the next morning... make that afternoon, when we headed down to the Raw seafood market. It was clear that a couple of the vendors knew that we were a little hungover, as they repeatedly offered us live octopus. One lady even ripped a leg off one of her "little ones" and offered it to us, before she downed the leg herself and dumped the disabled "nokchi" back into its tank. The next vendor took 3 live prize fish out of a tank and expertly gutted them while they struggled.

Probably not the best place to ride out a hangover...but all in all, another great weekend. Thanks for coming down, April... you too Steve!
