Colleen Takes a Tumble
Gabby had a Halloween party at her place last night which was pretty fun. We got dressed up in our costumes, and she took all the decorations from the school's haunted house and used them to decorate her apartment. There was food and music and everyone was getting drunk. This girl named Robin came, and she has a cute little dog who was running around with a sweatshirt on and a little reading light attached to it. Not sure exactly what his costume was, but he was cute. Gabby's neighbor came out after a while and brought her two dogs, and they were ADORABLE one of them was a cocker spaniel and it was sooooo soft.
So all the dogs were running around having fun, and they neighbor showed us her apartment and the animals were basically running in and out of both apartments. She brought over mushroom wine which we all tried. I don't know if i can adequately describe mushroom wine... if whiskey could go bad, I think that's what it would taste like. It was strong to say the least. So we're all gagging after we drink it, and the Korean woman is completely unphased by it haha. Alex and I were talking to her for a while, she didn't speak much English though. I told her I had a got, and she got really excited, ran inside, and brought out a bag of cat litter and just gave it to me! Apparently she got it online very cheap, and she didn't need it, so she gave it to me, which is great because I needed more cat litter.
After we were at the party for a while, four of us left to go to Itaewon. I'm not sure if I mentioned it before, but Itaewon is a popular place for foreigners to go. It basically a huge party spot, and during the day there are lots of places to go shopping and find western-sized clothes. So last night I went out to a place called Homo Hill. Three guesses why it's called that. It it quiet literally a hill for homos. There are about five or six bars/clubs I would guess. So I took a taxi with my co-workers who were going their anyway, and I met up with my friend Tim who I went to school with and have known for over 4 years. He was with some friends form Korea, and his friend from Thailand was visiting. We were going to go to a drag show, which apparently in Korea are quiet a thing to see.
We didn't wind up staying until the show, which started at 2:30am, but we went to some of the bars, danced at the clubs, had multiple shots of tequila, and over all had a great time. After Tim and his friends left I went to find my co-workers, and in one of the places I was walking around and I didn't see this little ledge in front of me, and of course, I fell, and everyone saw. It's a good thing I was too drunk to be embarrassed. In fact, I completely forgot about it this morning, that was until I was moving around and realized that my foot hurt. I got a HUGE bruise, I can actually see where the big vein was, and where it broke. It looks like a river flowing into a lake, it's pretty gross. But it doesn't hurt too bad, unless Dexter is attacking my feet and touches it.
But aside from the bruises and getting rained on, last night was a great time. I feel like Itaewon on a Saturday is going to be my new Spice on a Thursday (minus my partner in crime, Becky).
