This weekend was a lot of fun, especially Saturday. Allow me to give a little recap:
Saturday morning, I woke up at 8:00 am (I know, shocker) and took a half hour bus ride out to the countryside with 12 of my western friends. Our destination was Moo Deong Mountain, and we were to spend the morning hiking. On the ride there, we were all being talkative and loud. Usually, no one speaks on the public buses, and about halfway to the mountain the bus driver was fed up. He cleared his throat noticibly and suddenly shouted, "Speak SMALLER! Small speak!" Though his English was minimal, he got his point across.
It was a gorgeous day in the country, and we hiked for about an hour and a half before reaching a modest summit. A few of my counterparts couldn't make it to the top and had to go back early. I don't know if I am in better shape than them or if they were just hungover, but I felt great the whole way and plan on hiking again, hopefully every weekend!
After the hike, we all ate lunch at a small restaurant at the foot of the mountain. The lunch was delicious. I'm not sure what it's called, but it was meatless, consisting of a spicy sauce, white rice and strange vegetables. Seems to be a trend in this country..
After the hike, I was walking back to my apartment through the campus of Chonnum University, when I noticed a crowd of students huddled around a van outside the fitness center. I made my way over there and realized it was a beer truck full of kegs, and they were giving out free beer to all the passersby! Naturally, I endulged myself between returning home.
That night, I went to yet another Kia Tigers game (I can't get enough) and got myself a hat. After that, I went to a pizza place with my friends. The pizza there was DELICIOUS, and might trump most pizza I've eaten in the US.
All in all, it was a nice little Saturday

do they make Kia Tigers new era hats? I think I would have a blast at one of those baseball games. How much longer is their season? and what the hell is up with Squid jerkey? sounds gross.
