All You Can Eat and Drink - 22, 000 won

It was a beautiful thing...
About fifty of the SMOE teachers got together at a place called Carne Station in Seoul. For about $25.00 CAN we got to eat from a well stocked buffet and drink from a self serve bar. It was really cool because it was in the traditional Korean style, in that we cooked all the meat and stuff on a communal BBQ which was set into the middle of each of the tables. I ate so much beef that I think I might actually go veggie for a week or two. Oh, and I made a float. It was good.

Afterward, a bunch of us went bar-hopping and at the behest of Tim, the guy in the tightie whities from an earlier post, ended up at an 80s Prom-themed party with a couple of live bands. It was one of the oddest bar experiences that I've ever taken part in. We're in Korea, but the bar is full of westerners. It's 2006, but everyone is dressed as if it's 1986. The music was mostly the poppy fluff from that era, but all the guys in the band were dressed in punk clothes. Looking around at all the white folks you would have sworn you weren't in Korea, but the odd decor and ambiance reminded you otherwise. It was a good time.

There were other bars as well, but those were the only ones truly noteworthy.
