Korean-Russian Majority

Today is the birthday of a dearest. I don't have a cell phone yet and was planning on purchasing a calling card but I still haven't been able to find one. ARGH. Well, I just got off the phone with her and upon her suggestion, checked out her blog. I would just like to wish her all the best in her future endeavours and I know great things will come her way because she deserves the very best.

I don't start work 'til Monday so I thought should have some little fun and adventure before then. I went out to Hongdae area (a huge entertainment district in Seoul; younger crowd usually) last night. I then met some interesting people in Gangnam (" "; more mature group) and had some drinks with them... I made sure to watch my consumption because I can be such a hyena after a couple of drinks. Including myself there were four of us-- two Korean-Russian corporate lawyers (male and female) and a Swedish man from Samsung Human Resources. Some entourage, eh?? LOL. While they were a tight-knit group, I was a complete stranger. The four of us got along smashingly well but there were a few awkward moments I had to endure... especially in the company of one particular person-- the Korean-Russian man.

This particular person was exceptionally eccentric. He tried to express his interest in me in peculiar ways. I don't know how they do it back in Russia per se but he tried to bite my ear. YES, you heard me. Obviously not like Mike Tyson-style bite but still like... BITE. Imagine MY reaction; my mouth was completely agape. What does one do when something like that happens..?!

Looking on the bright side, they were pretty cool and they introduced me to some good bars and eateries in the area. I'm beginning to discover that a lot of authenic Korean men (those born and raised on Korean soil) are fascinated by Korean women who can speak fluent English along with fluent Korean. Anywhoo, I'm not sure if I'm ever going to see them again. However, if I do, I will keep you posted. XP
