What better way to spend your Friday night than getting very very drunk?
What better way to spend your Saturday than suffering from possibly the worst hangover since the dawn of time?
Thought I’d go for a change and take my Soju with grape juice rather than the usual dash of pineapple. A decision that would come back to haunt me, but more on that later.
So after downing 2 bottles at home I made my way to Ooops Bar after an absence of some 2 or 3 weeks. As is often the case the bar staff had completely changed with the exception of Yun hui whom I can never quite get - but she was in good form and she gave me a Jack Daniels clock thing.
I guess its that sort of thing that makes me keep going back, I’ve scored a Jack Daniels diary, Sapporo clock, KGB money box and god knows how many free drinks so I’ll be back.
Although not for a while me thinks. After 2 Guinness, 2 Heinekens and half a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black (W100,000 / $100) I stumbled home at some stage.
Next thing I know I’m crouched over my toilet throwing up, eyes’ still closed hoping my aim was on target, which, thankfully, I was. 12 hours later I can still see (and taste) the grape juice coloured vomit with little balls of Kim (seaweed - a common bar snack in Korea).floating in it.
I have had a splitting headache all day. 
In other news I reread the “Prison Diary”. I really cannot feel any sympathy for someone who has lived here for six years, presumably on an English teacher’s (i.e. good) wage, and hasn’t used a couple of days to get the necessary paperwork together, caught the ferry to Osaka, and got a visa!! I mean C’mon! And he can speak fluent Korean for god’s sake!
Lastly I got asked about the title, Chosun Bimbo which is obviously not as straightforward as I thought. It’s supposed to be a play on Chosun Ilbo one of the daily papers here. Jeez! Tough crowd. I thought it was funny….
