beer is to damm cheap ...never thought i d say that..

ok so korea has been an absolute mental assauly so much so everything has to be in dot point and in 2 parts

.we rolled into south korea and noticed to start off with the large demonstration and ammount of soldiers in seoul station, shrugged it off and jordan called jacqui to meet us a couple of hours away in busan, as soon as we arrived it was basicly on for young and old, we met up with a few of jacqui's friends and headed out to korean bbq , were u coook meat and vegies at the table. we got to meet more of jacquis friends including some cool american girls , monika and angela and the one and only jim carey ( hilliarious korean guy who loves weezer) . they took us to a international bar called crossroads where we found out the have $9 jugs ..and the jugs are almost double the size of aussie jugs!!! it had begun , before i knew it i was doing tequilla shots with some girl for her birthday then got shouted jager by the bar tender , played some crazy flipping cup drinking game with some americans , and after that it was kind of a blur i think we ended up somewhere else , and the best thing is you can leave one bar with a glass of beer and just take it to the next bar with you!! they dont care !!, we even stopped in a got some beers from a corner store and took THOSE into a bar with us ...anyway jacquis neighbour was nice enough so show me how o get home ( i had no fuckin idea) and i woke up with a fuckin brutal hangover ...and thats just the first 8 hours in country.. more updates later

Why is tommi lee jones advertising pepsi in japan???

The last time i posted i think we were in hiroshima,japan. We left there to go to kyoto which was probly my favourite place in japan! it was a really beautiful city with a crazy hostel that was covered in sports stars but upstairs had a lounge dedicated to rasta material whith all this weed smoking and bob marley shit everywhere. and a balcony filled with 80's tpys and action figures. But other than that the streets were filled with fantastic food shops as well as temples. the first full day we were there we spent at a region famed for it temples , it was a massive walk but extremely beautiful. The photos we took at the top of the shinto graveyard carved into a mountain were especially breathtaking. That night we met some pretty cool australian dudes and decided to hit the town . Our first choice of location was a bar themed like a clash record but it was closed so we hit a reggae bar called rub a dub . It was awesome it could fit about 30 ppl in there at the max and just ahd a really fun feel the bar tender was especially cool and was constantly cheerzing us and dancing while he worked. The next day we took a train out to the base of the mountains and decided to hike up and see some of the old temples in the mountain top , it was a long hike but when your at the top and everythings completely quiet i mean dead silient you can basicly only hear the sound of your own breath you understand why ppl would come up here to find god. We made our long trip down and decided to go to a onsen to heal some of our wounds from hiking . A onsen is basicly a natural hot spring with sulfur in it that is widely believed to be amazingly good for you. At the start it was a bit awkward nudeing up in front of tad and jordan and sqauting down in the shower area before hand , then we covered our jiblets and got into the water ...which was hot as fuck . After about 10 minutes tad decided he's had enough but me and jordan stayed in for a while longer and watched some japanese loacals come and go, they seemed to be a bit surprised to see westerners there at first but it was all cool after a while. When we finally got out it felt like i'd had about 2 days of sleep and someone had scrubbed me clean with steel wool and moisturised my skin while i was sleeping ...amazing. we went out and partied with a tall aussie dude that night and after a disaterous start at the dulest bar on earth ended up back at rub a dub where i some how ended up being dangled from my ankles for a photo op.crying so i stuck my head in to investigate and saw a guy taking a heavily bleeding woman up some stairs . i yelled out but he seemed to be telling me everything was under control, but we got the police anyway. They seemed to be under the conclusion that she was probly just wasted but went to check it out anyway they came back and took my details ( i gave them mels phone number :) and off we went to eat mcdonalds. The next day we left bec and tad and headed back to tokyo for the night , mel took jess to the airport and me and jordan explored the area surrounding the tokyo dome . It was a really great area and perfect for the night shot photo ops we were after , lots of neon light snow flakes and even a fountain orchestra that started up just as we entered the area shooting bursts of water into the air with multi coloured lkights. That night we went to check out some japanese punk bands which was a must for me while we there . We found a venue that was dark smokey and 3 storeys underground PERFECT. Saw a fuckin great band there called v/acation whose lead singer had no regard for his own personal safety , equipment or the safety of anyone else and proceded to destroy him self by just smashing into shit and diving on ppls heads , the night finsihed with the guitarist launching himself cannonbal style into the other guitarist on the other side of stage completely cleaning him up ..fucking gold man. . The next day we packed our shit up ducked out of the hostel dodgely (we snuck jordan into our room without paying) and boraded a plane to south korea at about 7 in the morning that i was so tired i slept through the entire thing. i... my original plan was to srat writing down some of our south korean experinces ( which have been fucking mental) but my brain is fryed from lack of sleep and my body is friend for a 3 hour hike to a korean mountain top ( exaplain in a later post ) so i think the best thing is for me to head home and watch that re run of the goonies
