Day 253: Half Way There Already???

So today is a landmark day in The S2H World Tour.

Today marks 253 days spent on this amazing journey in this wonderful little country, and is the exact half-way mark for my time here in Korea. 253 days have passed already, and I will be leaving Korea for the next phase of the World Tour in exactly another 253 days. 506 days in Korea altogether, and it's already half way over! Wow! Time is flying by so fast!!

And what a busy and action-packed landmark day it was!

I had a nice long sleep last night and then woke up ready to head into Seoul. I took the bus into Itaewon and met up with Michael for lunch. We had one mission in mind - to find Scotty a pair of stylish and properly-fitting pair of jeans! This is quite the task in Korea but we were ready and eager for the challenge.

And shopping we did! We hit Hondae, Sinchon, and Myongdong (three different neighbourhoods in Seoul known for good shopping) but struck out 0 for 3. We must've gone to at least 40 stores during our shopping marathon but could not find anything that we liked. Either the jeans were hot and stylish but were too short for me, or fit me but were lame and gross. *sigh* Oh, the woes of being 191 cm. in a country where few locals ever make it to such a height... But I did buy a pair of brown chords, a blue sweater, and a new scarf (all at Abercrombie & Fitch imitation look-a-like wannabe WhoAU?) so it wasn't a total loss.

We grabbed some pizza for dinner in Myongdong and then went back to Itaewon to get Michael's car. We met up with Sally & Jay there and the four of us drove back out to Ilsan to meet up with Addie to go and see a movie. We went to a DVD bang and after much deliberation and discussion finally picked out a movie to watch together. It was a Korean horror film called 'A Tale Of Two Sisters' that was confusing but very weird and scary. Good times.

After the movie Michael and I headed *back* into Seoul to meet up with Pauline, Nick & Angele at 'The Bar' in Sinchon to party it up! The three of them were a few hours ahead of us in terms of stateness of inebriation (sp?) so we gave our best college efforts to catch up avec pitchers of gin & tonic. Yum! Great 80's tunes, tasty liquid alcohol snacks and fab friends. Sounds like a great Saturday night to me! We stayed there until just after 3am and then the three of them went home. Mikey and I were still feeling energetic so hit G-Spot in Itaewon and stayed out til 5am! Wow what a late night! Bed time came at last, and I was out cold before my head even hit the pillow.
