On Friday night we did the usual thing we do. We ate and then went to drink. This time was a bit special since one of our friends Tony Adria (2d) was going back his home in Canadia. Instead of the regular kimbap place we always go to, we went to a meat bar (Samgyupsal) It was nice because it was so cheap. We ate beef and pork.
After dinner we went to Tudari, which is a really cozy pub type place. Kind of hard to explain, the main purpose of it is to drink, but there is no bar. People sit in these booths and order. There isn't much selection either, beer, Soju or plum wine.
In Korea if you are a foreigner you are loved, you have no problem getting people to buy you drinks or show you around. I do not know why, but Koreans have been really hospitable to me. I can not tell whether its fake or not, but its nice.
I will elaborate on this more later, now back to the story....
We sat down, and shortly after ordering drinks and more food, we started talking to people around us, soon we were invited to sit with these two guys in their 30's, and a few younger ones we were talking to joined as well. To put things simply, we walked in the place a group of 4, and walked out a group of 8.

Finally getting to the point of this entry, Afterwards 6 of us went to a dance club.
When we got there it seemed nice, the place was comfortable, drinks were not too expensive, and music was fun. I proceeded to go tot the dance floor. At first I did not realize that something was strange, but slowly I noticed that girls were dancing on one side of the room, and guys on the other. Some people were not even really dancing just vaguely moving their bodies imitating the dance from the current song's music video.
When I tried to dance with the girls they would run away T__T;;
Anyway I had a lot of fun dancing alone.
Another funny thing happened there too. We were sitting at our table, and this girl came over to us. She sat down across from me, and made me criss cross arms with her as we drank beer. She said things along the lines of you are very handsome and hand fed me squid. I was surprised at how straightforward she was. Then all of a sudden she started to shake her head saying something. Then she left. Apparently (according to Korean guy next me) she decided that she doesn't want to continue a relationship with someone who doesn't speak Korean. This whole encounter left me frustrated and confused.
