Getting off at Jangsan Station I met my new friend Dell. I need to tell you about my best friends here. I don't have many friends in Busan but the two best friends I have are very important to me. Yesterday I had a night out on the town and proceeded to drink for the first time in many months (since America)
I went to a bar named Star Face and discussed work, YBM, Korea children, wife, kids etc. I needed a night out badly. I am not a heavy drinker nor do I drink frequently. I used to be a beer snob in my University where I would pass up cheap lame beers for something with a little taste. My favorites at that time were Samuel Adams Winter lager, Hefeweizen, and The holiday variety pack from Samuel Adams. I never drank hard alcohol. I think whiskey, tequila and soju are all too potent and just a killing medicine more like poison but on this particular night I ended up having 6 shots of Tequila. I had a good time with Dell and can't wait to do it again but the night had an interesting twist. My wife and her brother came and picked me up at 12:00 simply because my wife worried about my well being. I was happy she came since I didn't want to really stay out much later. Dell is a great person. He has good charisma, and I get good vibes from him. He has been in Korea for 8 years and has just taken over the YBM institute at Nampo-dong. I believe in him when he said he could help me get my old job back slowly but surely. I am hoping that in the weeks or months to come I can get in on that position and hopefully be able to work there again!
I had an interesting day again today. I went to Nampo-dong with my wife in order to have a meal with the Seullongtong Restaurant friends place. His name is Mr. Kim. He has opened up some opportunities for me in the future I just have to be patient. He is an interesting person to me and is someone that I have come to know quite well.
what are friends for? Last week he gave me a tour of Nampo-dong and helped me enjoy the weekend. This month i didn't get a chance to work at YBM I had so much free time. Next weekend is the last time I will have some free time and then its back to work for me. I hope to have more adventures with MR. Kim and Dell in the near future.
Another night out in Jangsan? I sure wish I could bring my co-pilot Peter with me...
