New Years

Last night started late at the Speakeasy in downtown Gwangju. We arrived at around 11:00 and wandered around lighting off roman candles and watching the live pop show concert in the center of town before heading to the foreigner bar.

The place was packed and I had a great time meeting folks from all over the world. Pretty standard countdown to intoxication kind of New Year.

I’m on a bus now bound for Busan and Korean guys next to me keep feeding me dried octopus, potatoes, and kimbap (Korean sushi). My voice is a wreck from karaoke two nights ago and according to my new friend I “smell strongly of alcohol.” I’m heading to Busan to catch a ferry that exists in theory, but have no idea if it’s running on New Years since it’s a holiday for both countries.
