weekend fun party with Clayton!

So yesterday we met my friend Clayton at the bus terminal/E Mart. Clayton is a good friend that we have known since high school, and he currently lives in Seoul. For all of you who remember me talking about our "friend in Seoul who tutors that stem cell guy..."--well, that's Clayton. He is also the person who initially told us to check out Asia for job opportunities, so we owe him a lot. Anyway...We showed him around Chuncheon a little bit, and it was a really fun day. We ate on dakgalbi street; went to the underground mall (and ran into the same group of middle school chicks we met last week. They were very excited that we remembered them at all); went to the street market, which was really packed and awesome; saw a Bruce Willis movie at the "cinema"; ate dinner at our famous BBQ restaurant across the street; went to a bar and met some really nice Russian chicks and then went dancing. We got home around 4:00 in the a.m. It was fun. Today we were going to go ride these swan-shaped paddle boats on Lake Chuncheon, but we woke up and it's raining. Who knows what we will do today? Recover perhaps... It is just nice to see Clayton, a familiar face from home; and it's also nice to sort of play tour guide, even though I'm still a newbie in this particular city. Next weekend we will go visit Clayton in Seoul, where there is a giant lantern festival to celebrate Buddha's birthday. I think that means we get a day off of work, so if that's the case--props to Buddha. I'm sure we will have some kickass lantern footage. I've heard it is supposed to be really incredible. We shall see.
