Christmas day me and my friend John decided to go to Jinju. We didn't have much of a plan, other than to get out of Samcheonpo for the day. We wanted to see a movie if possible. First we went to eat. It took us a while, but we found a place called Han's Deli. Had a bread bowl pasta, a tortilla/nacho cheese pizza, and chicken balls (kind of like chicken nuggets, not actual testicles). It was surprisingly filling. I like to eat Western food whenever I leave Samcheonpo because I eat Korean food pretty much every day here. When we were walking in, they had some people giving out free hugs. I decided if they were there when I left, I would get one. They were still there, it seemed like there were 20 people giving out hugs. I got one and it was pretty cool, might have been the best part of the day. We went to the movies, but they were sold out until 7:40 for Les Miserables (it was 3:00 at that point) We said fuck it and walked around for a bit.
We had been told before that this wine bar in Jinju was a major hang out spot for foreigners. We went after the Thanskgiving dinner and were the only ones there. We went Christmas day and it was the same thing. To be fair, it was like 4:30, but still, it's Christmas! We looked on Facebook and found some people meeting up at an Italian restaurant at 7:00. We decided to crash their party. We got there, and everyone filtered in until there were about 7 other people there. The food was good, but it took almost an hour and a half to get my lasagna all the food was brought out at different times, pretty shit service if you ask me. But we had a good time and met some cool people. Talked about chaturbate, made a bunch of jokes, had a few beers. Typical Christmas dinner I suppose.
Most people left after dinner, but two others were down to go do some stuff. We ended up at a popular bar for foreigners. One of the guys, Steve, was really cool. We were just talking shit to each other all night, which is pretty rare because a lot of people can't seem to take a joke around here. I actually had to give in, he might be one of the best shit talkers I've met. Everybody liked him, from the taxi driver to the owner of the bar, who knew him by name. We weren't able to stay long because we had to catch the last bus to Jinju at midnight but we had some soju and cider (delicious drink) and just generally hung out and had a good time. Now I actually know some cool people in Jinju. I'll definitely be going there more often.
