Rainy day walkin', taxi cab hailin',California dressin', Moe's tavern drinkin'.... UFC fightin?

So yesterday Superman, Chris and I had planned on hiking some new areas to show me some bouldering areas around Mokpo. Unfortunately it was raining so we decided to hit the rock gym for some good fitness time. Andrew walked to our apartments in the pouring rain and was just soaked by the time he got here. So we thought it'd be a good idea to get a taxi for the two mile walk to the gym. As luck would have it, as soon as we walked outside it began to pour on us so that by the time we got into a taxi we were soaked anyways... it didn't help that the gym was so hot and humid that we never really dried off. It was like a perma-soak for our clothes, just muggy and clammy the whole workout...During the workout we met one of the guys who runs the gym, Chris told him that I was a good climber and the man looked at me and said I was way too heavy to be a good climber (I'M A DELICATE FLOWER DAMN IT!!!!!!!), he then went and nailed what was probably a 5.13+ sport route, but what does he know about climbers.... After about an hour we called a taxi and headed home.

Changed, dried, and warm Chris and I left our apartments and headed to the fish market to do some grocery shopping for lunch. I got another look at the buckets of squid and octopus swimming around all weird like. Filling up their balloon heads and then expelling the water out to jet around the tank until they hit a wall, only to turn around and do it again. Pretty neat creatures. Once we got home (once again wet from the rain) Chris made up a huge pot of ramen with eggs, tofu, squash, and rice. It was phenomenal, really makes regular ramen look like garbage when compared. So a good lunch with a rather terrible movie (percy jackson and the lightning thief). I mean, seriously, the "son of poseidon" is that much of a b*^#& that he can barely do anything right? How much of a screw-up could a demi-god actually be?!? Anyways, that's just maybe 8.63% of the rant that I threw while watching this movie, which for some ridiculously stupid reason Chris likes....

So, it being Saturday night here, at 9:30 we left our apartment, looking all snazzy ( and by snazzy I mean being dressed the way I always do, cause I'm just that damn snazzy) in my khaki shorts, long black socks, black T-shirt, and my trusty black Dropkick Murphy's hat (thanks mom and dad!). Chris thought the California style on T.V. was just stereotyped, but no, we ALL dress exactly like this... So, heading outside we snagged a taxi (again, it was raining) and headed down to Moe's Tavern! (It's an expat bar that two Korean girls run with the help of their boyfriends) Not a bad place, but lots of really weird westerners here... It was Open Mic night, so of course, there were two really good acts and a couple just terrible ones (Including a super tall dude who sucked at dancing and dancing to terrible dubstep, and a stand up comic who only told jokes about Canada which only 3 people in the bar found funny.) So most of the night was spent meeting new people to distract myself from the circus show on stage. I met all of Chris's friends and then went off on my own. Met a couple of dudes from Wisconsin, one of whom told some great stories about when he worked for a construction company up in Fairbanks, Alaska. Then a (severely) drunken Australian walked up to me and started shouting "I've found Chris Camozzi!!!!" to all his friends (apparently I look like a UFC fighter...) but he was wearing a Queenstown Rugby shirt so we started up a pretty decent conversation until he spotted a new girl at the bar he hadn't hit on yet and excused himself to go do so.  After a few more random and awkward encounters I ran into Chris and an older Korean lady talking and joined in the conversation. She turned out to be a nice lady and we talked about Seoul (her hometown) for quite a bit and then talked about stuff to do in Mokpo (by her Metropolitan standards, she thought Mokpo was boring and tiny).

Around 1am we left Moe's and headed to Texas Bar! An American themed bar with no Americans in it! We watched some premiership football on the big screen and then decided it was time for some late night McDonalds and headed home. Now, McDonalds is about three blocks away from our apartments, and it was barely drizzling, so we decided to walk home even though neither of us had umbrellas or rain coats... That was just stupid because we got no farther than fifteen feet before it began to just POUR on us, but we were just too cheap to pay for a taxi to take us three blocks... So, just imagine the sight of two big white dudes, with no rainjackets or umbrellas, laughing hysterically at their own stupidity, walking down the street at almost 3 in the morning, in the pouring rain.... We passed a hospital care center and the old Korean guys sitting in their gowns and wheelchairs out front looked so amused at the sight that I couldn't help but laugh more. All in all a good night.

But, today is sunday and the climbing gym is closed... what to do? what to do?...
