Last weekend was Christmas, obvi, but it was the first time I had been away from my family for it. Lemme first tell you that xmas is nowhere near as big in Korea as it is in America. America has the xmas season while Korea has xmas day. A very BIG difference. Meaning that it did not feel like xmas until xmas day.
So anyway me and a big group of people, say 25 or so, went to this Irish bar in Seoul where they would be serving us a buffet style xmas meal. And not just any buffet style but a 3 course meal. It was absolutely uhhhmazing. They first had like 3 diff types of soup, appetizers, and various bread. Pretty good. Then they brought us a meal which we had preordered before. I got turkey and ham. It was soooo good. They also put out like 3 types of potatoes and had gravy. Again it was awesome. Then finally when I thought I couldnt eat anymore they brought us cookies, cheese cake, and ice cream.
We arrived at the bar around like 2 or 3pm and of course started to drink at the time, I mean I hang out with Irish people what do you expect. We ended up leavin the bar around 9ish or so, not totally sure. But anyway we headed to a hookah bar for a lil bit which was pretty fun. Finally we ended up goin to a club for the end of the nite. There was a cover but they had free, yes FREE, mixed drinks for an hour, and that hour happened to start right when we got there. Not saying it was fate, but it was. Needless to say we took great advantage of this. Literally double fisting mixed drinks for an hour straight. I was not sober by midnite.
When we first got there they had some local bands playing some music which was pretty good. Then around like 1 or 2am, I really have no idea when, the djs started up. I ended up at the clubs til like 530 or so, again I think. Literally time just disappears here.
In conclusion, this was the most different type of Christmas I have ever experienced but it was absolutely amazing and my new group of friends helped make it that way.
With love
Brady
