Hooters makes you happy...

Yesterday, being that it was Tuesday, February 10th, was a glorious day for my friends Sionna and Paulina. You see, the 10th of every month is PAY DAY!! Their over month of waiting was finally over. So to celebrate, Sionna decided that everyone should go into Seoul and splurge at Hooters. Yes, there is a Hooters restaurant (as in the chain) in Seoul, South Korea. So I trekked from Bundang to Gangam via the magical subway. It was actually my first time and thankfully, it was very easy and I made it with ease (well, for the most part). I then met the gals at Hooters (it took me a little longer to get there) and we devoured all food in sight. From chicken wings, to chicken fingers, nachos, burgers, and fries - everyone was happy (just as their slogan implys) and stuffed to say the least. And yes, I ordered the largest angus cheeseburger on the menu and managed to eat the whole thing AND keep it down. I figure while I'm eating meat, I might as well go big or go home! After dinner, Sionna attempted to purchase a souvenir t-shirt but of course in Korea, they only sell size small - even in mens! Argh...

Unfortunately for as good as the transportation system is here, everything shuts down at midnight except the good ol' "cabbies". Taking a cab is always a special treat. We tried to wheel and deal a few of the drivers as they all tried to rip us off because we're foreigners and they think we don't know any better - WRONG!

Sarah: "Paulina you try to get a cab, I can't get anything lower than 50,000 won and that's absurd"
Paulina: "Okay how do you say 30,000 won (Sam chon won)"
Sionna: "You should try to speak with a Russian accent! Maybe that'll help...maybe they'll take pity!"
Paulina: "How do you speak Korean with a Russian accent?!?"
Paulina: "Samm chon vvonnnn!?!"
Me: ....HYSTERICALLY LAUGHING LOL
(Maybe you had to be there...I swear its the funniest thing I've heard in a long while!!)

We finally suckered one man into taking us to Suwon for a decent price. The entire ride was full of fun and much laughter (even from the cab ride as he could pick up a little of what we were saying). I ended up staying the night at Sionna's, picked up an ice cream cone on the way to her house, and even went to the PC Bang to catch up on the blog and tv shows!
Bed time finally came at around 3:30 am. My schedule is such a hot mess!!!
