No guests allowed.

Well we found out this week that our new motto should be "no guests allowed", especially those who are big fans of drinking.
Jameson has a couple friends who are teaching illegally in China right now, and since they are teaching illegally they can only stay for 60 days at a time before they have to leave and go on vacation fora few days. After they are out of the country for a few days they can reenter and apply for another 60 day travel visa. So where do you go when you have to leave China? Well Korea of course. So on Monday morning Scott and Kate, Jameson's friends cam to town and it was the beginning of a long week.
During the afternoons they would sight see by themselves since we had to be at work, but every night we we felt the need to show them a good time. Monday night we stayed local and got beers near Jameson's place and got to know everyone......until 4 am. Tuesday we took them to Itaewon for some Thai food. They really wanted Greek but the best Greek place was closed. After Itaewon was closing at 2 we took them to Gangnam for Soju cocktails and beer......until 4 am. Wednesday was their last day here so we took them out after work to Sincheon for Kalbi (Korean barbecue) and then, of course, more beers. WE called it an early night though since they had to be on the bus back to the airport by 930 Thursday morning.
So after they left we all took a well deserved day off on Thursday and got some rest since we all felt worse than garbage. It was nice to have visitors because it made us realize how much we have done, or haven't done, and how much we know about the country and were able to share. But, since they were on vacation it was a little tough on the liver and doesn't need to be repeated anytime soon.
On Friday we were still feeling a little rough around the edges so instead of going to the gym Jameson and I went to Techno Mart to get him a new cell phone, which worked to varying success. He was able to get information on getting a phone plan, but since he bought Lindsey's phone from her when she left there is a bunch of plan changing that is going to take some time so he is going to have to wait another week. Friday night we met up with Blake and Nathan in Gangnam for some dinner and a couple beers. Luckily nobody was into partying to hard and we just drank casually until about 230 then went home.
Saturday was a bit of a shocker. I say a bit because Jameson had been predicting it for a couple weeks, but after we went home Friday night he called his girlfriend who is back in L.A. and broke up with her. They have been on pretty shaky terms for a while and he decided it was that time. So..........what did this mean? It meant he wanted to go out and drink on Saturday. No different from any other Saturday except he planned on going over the top. We decided to go to Itaewon, yet again, since some of our friends were going to be there and because it was St. Patrick's Day weekend, so we were told.
Luckily we got to the usual bar before it was too packed and settled in with some green beer. Shortly after we got there my friend Anne showed up and came to hangout with us. We all had some drinks and a pretty good time until around 3 when most of us were ready to head home. We went out to the main street to get shwarma and cabs, which may have been more fun than the whole night at the bar. On Sunday most of us were up and mobile by mid afternoon, so Jameson and I got together for lunch and then went to met up with Blake to check out Korea's largest fish market. It is 6600 square metres and has row after row of booths selling mostly live fish of every edible variety. It was late when we got there and most of it was closed so we have planned on going back in the near future. Not so much for the fish, but for the chance to eat live octopus. There are lots of places you can do it but we figure its freshest at the fish market. So keep a look out for that post in the future.
Well enough is enough, I have to wrap it up and get off to bed.
Talk to you all soon.
