Trip to Korea

@LHoffman:

Yeah they probably did deserve it. If I may inject some stereotyping … women do not tend to be the best with directions… even maps.

Still, you’d think they’d be smart enough not to do something dumb like that. They could be in some sort of NK gulag right now.

I’d sure like some communist rocks though. Hopefully I don’t get gunned down before I stuff my pockets and run back.

Hmm, I thought the Koreans pulled them over the border from China

You can do the rest.

Korea, aka Tae-han Min-guk (republic of korea) is a pretty awesome place. If you like pc games you will be in heaven. Try to find one of the stadiums where they play huge lan games of Starcraft, and other pc games, it really is something to see.
Also, not sure of the age here or what rules you’ll have to follow,  but the drinking laws are fairly lax. at the resturants in Seoul, you are only allowed to bring in one bottle of booze, its some kind of weird city ordanence. To get around this, beer and other alcohol makers have made giant sized bottles of people favorite beer and other alcohol, and I mean giant. So check that out too if you can.
good luck and have fun :)

I am entirely envious of you.

Well, I am 20, so, 1 year underage in the US… and I don’t do any drinking anyway, but thanks for the info. If I understand you correctly, you are only allowed to buy one bottle of an alcoholic beverage? So the beer companies make huge bottles? Hmmm… I will need a picture of that!

I do play some computer games… but stadiums of LAN games are more than a bit extreme. That would be odd to witness.

Actually, your only allowed to bring one bottle with you, from outside, so thats why they make them huge

I think it is a great opportunity, so I didn’t want to pass it up. The only place outside the US I have been is Canada (many times)… but that doesn’t really count in my opinion. No offense Dylan, but Canada and the US are just about the same in terms of land forms and relative closeness to home.

I hope it is a good time. I’d like to bring a few of you guys with me… then we can play a couple games of AA in our spare time.

We have Tim Horton’s based on a cool hockey player
We have Canada Dry pop.

Well… there are Tim Hortons here in the USA too. AND, sorry to burst your bubble, Canada Dry is made in Texas, not Canada. Yeah, my world came crashing down on me the day I found that out.

I am glad you say pop… I get annoyed with those southerners who say soda or they use Coke as reffereing to any carbonated beverage… and when you say, “Yes I’d like a Coke” they look at you funny and say “Yeah, what kind?” ------- “Coca-Cola you fool!”

Yeah like it’s like if they call it pepsi, but coca cola is more popular.

Well I think Canadian beer is good???

I have never heard them call it Pepsi before, though my travels in the south are limited. I much prefer Coca-Cola anyway.

I have never had Canadian beer… well, I take that back. I have had a bit of Labatt Blue and Molson before. But I don’t drink beer, so I can’t say. You’re a little young for that aren’t you, even in Canada?

I don’t drink nor do I want to. Anyways I prefer pepsi products.

I can’t stand pepsi or coke. To me pepsi just tastes like an over-carbonated coke. My favorite soda is root beer, followed by Dr. Pepper. I don’t drink soda for caffeine. If I want caffeine, I drink coffee, black and sugarless. And seriously, what would your pop say about you calling soda pop. :)

Root Beer and Dr Pepper I think Pepsi and Coke makes them.

pepsi products coke products

Well… I am gone… or I will be as of 7:00 am EST Monday. I am flying out of Detroit to O’Hare in Chicago and thence to Incheon S. Korea. Maybe I can post some pictures upon my return.

I may not be able to comment on anything until returning on Tuesday the 27th. So, see yall. Keep cool drinking those Coke products.

Somebody watch Dylan while I am gone and make sure he doesn’t get into trouble. 8-)

I’m not your bitch.
