Blow

Ended up at Brickhouse last night after what started off as a low key night in our neighbourhood with dukgalbi for dinner (chicken with rice cake and cabbage in hot sauce) and a few local beers, but after we had sat around for a few hours and we were feeling kind of sleepy we decided we needed to get out and liven ourselves up a little.

Brickhouse was having a fundraiser for a local foreigner who was badly injured on his motorcycle so it was pretty busy and full of familiar faces. There were three Koreans near the bar who were doing some sort of testing or survey and they asked us if we wanted to participate. Turns out they were sampling personal breathalizers and if you participated in the testing you got your own breathalizer. I filled out the paper and blew a 0.05% which meant that I was right on the Korean limit for drinking and driving, although I guess since I don't have a car it doesn't really matter. Anyhow Tom, Richard and I all got our breathalizers and we were planning all the fun games we could do with them: who can get the highest score, who is the most drunk, who gets drunk the quickest, etc. Then someone spoiled our fun by telling us the highest they can detect is 0.12, which we conceded after was probably a smart thing judging by the stupid things we were planning to do with them. Anyhow that was the excitement of my night, I didn't stay out too much later because I was exhausted and still haven't shaken this cold, plus we have plans of mountain climbing today at a nearby national park so I wanted to be in top form for that. I think after the mountain we are going out for some Indian food and then maybe having a movie night and tomorrow I have plans to climb a different mountain with Kevin so it should be a good weekend to get out in the warmer weather and do some physical activity.

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter!
