Let's go to the korean night culture... in mexican. Lian was the host of the party. It was my first time in a Korean flat. Well, I have to say that he live in the new city, in Songdo, so I suppose (I don't really know) that the traditional ones are different. Anyway, his unipersonal flat is very modern, and spacious, and very automatic (it's a shanme that I don't have a picture of the WC). I introduced him before, but not like that jeje ;)
When you are invited to a party, or a kind of, I think that is different in every culture what it is supposed to bring. So I thought that I should bring some drinks and maybe something for the host,... anyway, I spend saturday afternoon for that. A pineapple, a bottle of Catalan wine ( for Alicia), some bottles of soju (my plan was one for each, and a bit more), some beer and my special present for Alicia. Now I can follow the sentence as mastercard advertisement, but I won't... jeje.
The party was at 8 pm. As a responsable and motivated man as I am, I went there an hour before, just to check if it was all ready (and warm up before the game. "mecshu"!!). I help to make some quesadillas ,mmmm.. rico. Mexican food! in korea! good... :')
(you can see the quesadillas in fornt of me, and the nchos in the table, the sauces were really spicy, mexican style).
As usual korean people was still working (I use to do it also on saturdays), so they were coming during the party. Well, one was there soon: (I was not perverting her, she asked me for the beer). Ah!, is not the same picture as before, look for the differences.
When you are in a country in which the language is very different, the culture is (sometimes) hard to understand and the people is very carefull about you, it is quite important to listen, learn, and repeat. Then you will see how suprised are they when you do it. For example, in 3 weeks you can easyly introduce yourself in korean (12 hours of class per week), ask for food and drink, and go shopping. Next step is learn the language and behaviour of the real people, to know what is going on in every moment (lots of nights studying korean culture). So when I am in Barcelona and somebody says something like "Que tal tio? nem a fer una canya i una de callos?", (well maybe the sentences is not the best example, but I can say that in korean...) then a big smile grows deep in me, and I fell happy that someone is talking the language of my country and now what to do! well, all that is just to tell that yes, I learn some things about korean night culture, and I like and understand what happens when I say something as pok tan ju! then and smile is coming and I understand why. jeje.
By the way, Alicia:
In a koream party is done as the other parties. Drink (a bit):
Play (in the playstation):
Drink:
And take funny pictures:
dance a bit:
And then, to a karaoke!!! I'm sorry but I don't have pictures about that, my camera is not really working in the darkness. But I also think that karaoke needs an special chapter... an entire one, jeje.
sounds like a great night, kind of sad that I missed it...
