Jeonju and July 4th celebrations

On Friday I ventured off to Jeonju with the lads. Jeonju is about an hour away from Gunsan so is very easy to get too. We had the most amazing dinner ever!! Lots and lots of meat and garlic :)


Me, Dan, Josh and Josh


After this we found the 'foreigner' bar and where we discovered the poker set. Played a good round, had a few beers and then went clubbing - the most interesting clubbing experience I have ever had!!! Going for a dance in a club is not as easy as it sounds.... You are only allowed to go to the dance floor when the dj allocates 'dancing time' because inbetween 'dancing times' you have to have 'social time' - this is where the dancefloor disperses and everyone heads back to their tables for forced 'social time'!! You then have to wait for the next time the dj thinks you are able to dance again. Toooo funny!!
All in all it was a good night, we had some really good fried chicken before we headed back to Gunsan on the first morning bus.


A few of us were invited to the US air base to celebrated July 4th. Was really good fun!! A great bunch of people, some good chat and a nice early night to top it off with!

Edwin, Laura, Jocelyn and me on base.




'Shotgunning' the beer!



I am currently sat in Gyeongju where I thought I had an interview for a job - in fact, they thought that I had already taken the job and was coming here today permanently!! The language barrier can definitely cause a few mix ups over here!! It's a lovely city and is very well known for its history and outdoor activities. It is a little out the way though and more difficult to travel within Korea in comparision to where I currently am in Gunsan. I head to Daegu to stay with someone there tonight and then back to Gunsan tomorrow. Off to Seoul on Wednesday for my other interview and then it is decision making time!!
