I got Seoul but I'm not a Seouldier

Hello America.  This weekend we got to take a field trip into Seoul to watch the show Nanta (as seen on broadway) and to venture around the city.  They must have only been picking the most awkward looking American people from the audience because I got brought on stage to take part in a sweet cooking contest.  The good news is I brought home the gold for America and was even able to entertain the crowd with an adorable little dance after my victory.  It was great and I'm expecting a call any day now with an offer to permanently join the show.  After the show we got shipped off to downtown Seoul where I got to see lots of great things at the market place.  There were numerous funny shirts there including (but not limited to) "Phillies Cowboys" ... two very unrelated sports teams ... "I'm hottest" ... he wasn't even that hot ... and a very inappropriately dressed woman wearing a shirt that said "I'm so fucking Disco" ... that chick loved the Village People.  With dinner I had my first taste of SoJu and it tasted SoBad.  People drink it with most meals but it basically tastes like Karkov mixed with water.  I also found out later that a 3000 cc pitcher of beer is much larger than my head.  It's the first time anything on this planet has ever been bigger than my head; I feel defeated.  While sitting outside of a restaurant we made a small Korean friend (possibly 3 years old) and found out something great: in Korea if a little kid drops his pants next to a tree his parents will merely push him closer to the tree and allow him to "water" it.   We were able to navigate our way back to campus by bus (which is very uplifting) where we were immediately met by two drunken scholars offering us rice wine.  Luckily a paper bag floated by or a shiny light caught there eyes and they continued their drunken meandering up the street.  I also found out that there are crane games all over Korea and it's very easy to win them.  Yes, most of your souveniers will be won rather than bought for you.  

Today (Sunday) we decided to venture around the city of Suwon which is where the campus we currently reside at is located.  Not a lot of craziness occured but I did try Korean's take on pizza and with each pizza you get sweet pickles and honey mustard on the side ... that makes sense to me.  To keep on the American theme of the day we went and saw the movie G.I. Joe.  The first show was sold out and instead of being dissapointed I was happy to see Koreans taking an interest in American things like explosions and Marlen Wayans.  We had 9 p.m. curfew tonight so we had to return to our dorm rooms where I accidently bought ion supply drink instead of water.  I thought "Pocari Sweat" meant Cold Refreshing H20 ... damn this language barrier!  Sports day is tomorrow so I will continue to try to represent for the red white and blue because these colors don't run ... except during the sports day relay race.
