Weekend report

I had another great weekend! I went out on Friday and Saturday night and didn't come home until the next morning, so I need to catch up on some sleep today.

On Friday night, I met up with Charlie at the Hilton Casino, since he was already there gambling. I thought he learned his lesson from last week when he lost all of his money, but he came back for more. Well, surprisingly, he lost all of his money AGAIN. You could say that he wasn't too happy, but I had no sympathy for him since he is a grown man. Anyways, we went to the town Itaewon to meet up with some friends at a bar called " Hollywood ". Personally, I don't like to go to Itaewon at night. It's full of marines and foreigners. It's not that I don't like marines or foreigners, but it has a lot of weird people. It seems like everybody wants to fight, and I just don't like the atmosphere there. I like to be around people that likes to have a good time without any tension. Speaking of fighting, drunk ass Charlie almost got us in a fight 4 times that night. That guy can not handle his liquor, and I wanted to kick his ass for being so stupid. We left Itaewon and went to a town called Suyu, which took forever. After a $25 taxi ride, we got to Suyu and met up with Ghung Hee, Jeen Ah, and two of their friends. Then, drunk ass Charlie was being so obnoxious that we left the bar in embarrassment . What a dumbass!!! Charlie went home, so the rest of us went to another bar. I had the biggest headache that night. It's probably because I had peach cocktail soju. I guess the regular soju is too strong for the ladies, so they all seem to drink that cocktail soju. Since I was the only guy at the table, I just drank the peach cocktail soju with them. We managed to finish off two giant pitchers. Once again, to end the night, we went to the Noraebang to sober up but ended up drinking some more. Man, these ladies can drink!!! They all weighed about 110lbs each, but they can drink alcohol like water. I got home about 7am and passed out.

On Saturday, I met up with Jessica, Brendon, and his girlfriend Rose who is visiting from Ireland. Brendon's a English teacher from Ireland and he has the same accent as my sisters boyfriend Chris. Chris is from Scotland and the way they spoke was pretty similiar. I met them at Geckos in Itaewon to have a drink, then we went to Kangnam to get some dinner. Around 10pm, Brendon and Rose went to another bar to meet their friends and Jessica went home for the night. I had plans to meet up with Cherry and some of her friends. Cherry is a Korean girl that decided to pick " Cherry " as her American name. What's up with these weird names? Anyways, I met them at a restaurant near the town that I live at and hung out. This time, we didn't go to the Noraebang, since I wasn't too far from my house. I took a taxi and got home, relatively, early. I got home around 4am, but I could not sleep for some reason. I started reading " Angels and Demons " by Dan Brown, and I fell asleep around 7am.

Sunday morning, I had to get up at 9:30am to teach English to the kids from my church. I was half asleep, so I don't think I was very productive. Today, I will be going hiking for couple of hours, then I have to find a place to live that is near my work. I am not sure where yet, but I am thinking Cheong Dam, Sinsa, Hannam, or Oksu area. My school is near Cheong Dam, so I prefer to live there but it is a wealthy area so it might be too expensive. Anyone have suggestions on where I should live that is near Cheong Dam or Apgujeong station? I don't know the towns here, so I can use some suggestions.
