I Sold My Seoul For Rock & Roll!
The Plan: Wake up early, three hour bus trip to Seoul, wander the city, see a Crying Nut show (Famous Korean punk band), party until the buses start running in the morning!
You can pretty much scratch the waking up early part off the list. Melissa and I both got up pretty lazily after last night’s partying on the beach. Altering the plan a little bit more, we spent the afternoon playing guitar, singing and doing laundry before we realized it was already 16:00. The show started at 18:00, so we rushed out to the bus depot for a lift to the city.



When the show came to a close we returned to the streets of Hongdae in search of a quality drinking establishment. The first we came across was another live music club called FF. They were having an all-you-can-drink special when we arrived. Although they tried to get us for 20,000W each we talked them down to 5,000W ($5)! We literally had all we could drink while we watched a few of the local bands doing their best to sound like Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance. However, one of the bands did pleasantly surprise us by playing a version of the Ghostbusters theme song (which the DJ next club ironically spun as well).After getting our fill of free alcohol and laughs we proceeded to another club where they were blasting The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party and a few other awesome bands! More drinks… dancing… making friends. Good times were had.
