My Cousin Tanya visits Korea
My cousin Tanya came around to Korea a few weeks ago. She just came from visiting our other cousin Kim in Japan. I hadn’t seen her in over a year, but we’ve grown up seeing eachother every Christmas.She landed at my aunt’s place in Seoul, but I decided to take her in for the weekend and try to show her Busan, which I haven’t seen either. We hit Haeundae Beach which was pretty bitchin, lots of waves, inner tubes, parasols, and sand.
I thought the beach would be a lot more crowded, especially from the stories I’ve heard from other people. But we got ourselves a parasol for 5 bucks from a grandma who apparently runs that portion of the beach. Theres also a lot of jellyfish. I’m pretty sure I felt a bunch on my feet but I heard they don’t sting you here for some reason. After running in and out of the water, and then back in, and then back out again, and then finally getting bored of it, we headed back to our hotel to clean up.
After an incredible dinner of curried chicken and rice and naan at Ganga, an Indian chain of restaurants in Korea, we hit a bar called U2. We sat down and everyone started deciding what they wanted to drink when Mimi came back with a full bottle of Jose Cuervo. We played a deadly drinking that I’ve come to call ‘Ding, Ding’.
How Ding, Ding works is, everyone says DING, DING, and then the first person who is ‘it’, says a number between 1 and twenty. At the same time he or she shouts the number, everyone points to someone else at the table. Then you start to count, from person to person, following where people are pointing. The person it ends on, chooses a shot from the middle which have varying sizes of tequila shots. It’s fast, dirty, and gets you tanked, especially when you play host to the game.
Afterwards we headed to a club called Mary Jane. All I remember is having a bitchin time with everyone as we all danced our respective faces off.
Boys and Girls, this is how a heavy night of drinking ends up.
Pretty sweet, eh?
