Summer Holiday Part Three.

O.K, it's been a while since I've written and my holiday isn't fresh in my mind any more but I'll make it up. I'm sitting here eating a Ham and Cheese toasted sandwich which is delicious, it's from a shop called Issac and it is a big chain through out Korea but to own a franchise you have to be a christian! They love me and give me extra ham.

I do remember an incident with the police, we had been out all night and our hotel was next to the train station so we got a taxi there, it is impossible to not understand the letters K.T.X in Korea as it is their super fast train and everyone is proud of it so for the Taxi man to balls it up reeks of tacking advantage of the foreigners. Admittedly we had been on a brew called Ultra Super Dead but that's not the point. This bloody driver took us half an hour in the wrong direction before demanding that we pay him and get out in the whop wops. So we did what any one would do, told him to get fucked and take us to the train station. He got a little angry at that and threatened to call the police but we jumped the gun on him and we called them! That really pissed him off. So the coppers turn up, he shouts at them, we attempt to tell our side of the story in Korean. The cops say something to him and in sign language tell us to get in the cop car and that we did not have to pay the taxi man and that they would drive us to our hotel which was next to the Train station.

Last night I went and played poker and I won, yay for me, and came second in the second game.

A new bar has opened in town called the Wa Bar. So I have been hanging out there a little.

I went to a pretty cool fancy dress party as a cowboy.

Been offered a pretty sweet new contract with more cash, more holidays and a bigger apartment but dunno bout it.

Got another work seminar on Saturday in Daegu.

Was stoked that I remembered fathers day.

New work schedule this month which is a piece of cake.

Lots of my mates are leaving and a new group is arriving. That is good and bad.

Kiwis are starting to overrun this town. 8 of us out of over half a million people.

Just finished my toastie so I'm off.
