las vegaas a go-go

deery-lou.

where do i even begin? thursday night was our big school dinner where i thought we were going to talk about the "problems" that some people have been having. earlier in the day my boss told us that we were going to meet two surprise guests. whats that all about? i love how they throw things like this in at the last minute. "kl" never fails. after school horace, christine, and i met the others at my favorite bbq place. madame kalbi wasn't there which was too bad. i always love seeing her. anyway we found the others and joined them. i was so hungry that it felt like the meat was taking forever to cook. once we were seated jk wanted to tell us about the mystery guests. what it comes down to is this. jk's wife doesn't want the school anymore and he was thinking about selling it. instead he found two investors. his best friend and that guy's friend. so as of friday jk signed papers turning the school over to himself. jane is no longer part owner of the school. and now we have two investors who are going to be hands off. their initial investment is just for a year and after that who knows what is going to happen. jk seems happy about this new situation. i could tell he didn't want to give up the school. hopefully things will work out. for now it looks like things are going back on schedule. jk also told me that night that he got divorced. this was something that i suspected but didn't really know for sure. now i do. shortly there after the two guys showed up and we were all introduced. they spoke a little english which was good. once they arrived the soju bottles started coming full force. i did good at first nursing the soju but shortly it turned into doing shot after shot with these two guys. jk's best friend, mr. kim, wanted to go disco dancing. so off we went to find a club. so much for a quiet thursday night. we ended up at las vegas club where mr. kim was a vip. this club was similar to that of the kiss club i went to awhile ago. a bunch of tables, a stage for performers and djs, and dancing go-go girls. this had disaster written all over. we settled into a table that was right in front of the go-go dancer. within a matter of minutes there was a fruit plate, bottles of beer, and whiskey on our table. it didn't take long until we were doing shots of whiskey. someone help me! i don't even like whiskey but there was doing shot after shot and chasing it strawberry milk. don't ask. it seemed odd to me too but hey i'm in korea so why not. mr. kim and his friend are uber friendly. kind of like octopuses since there hands were all over us. i think he patted my ass at least 4 times. drag me out on the dance floor 3 times where he proceded to dance with me. yet another odd korean thing. these guys definitely like to have a good time. at one point the woman who was serving us brought over two girls. was i being set up? i really wasn't sure. i quickly made my way to the restroom and when i returned the girls were gone. our new investors were both amazed at my age saying i looked so long. then they asked if i was married. now that they know i'm not they want me to get married. i tried to tell them that none of my friends at home were married but that wasn't good enough for them. then mr. kim told me that he wanted to go hiking and camping next time. ok. that was all i could really say. the bands that played were pretty awful but i made the best of it. the drinks kept coming and coming too. good thing dancing was involved because i think i danced off a good majority of the drink. at one point everyone was gone except for me, young, christine, anna, and jean. horace went home and jk and his two friends were last seen walking outside. what we found out the next day was that they went outside to talk and ended up getting into a fight we some people outside. that's why they didn't come back. mr. kim's friend got hit so they went home. sometime during the evening christine and anna were talking to me about school or something but i couldn't really understand what they were saying. hopefully it wasn't too important. we continued to drink more. both anna and young left so it was just the three of us. shots of whiskey still being consumed. at one point i started to pour my shots into an empty glass when they weren't looking. there was no way i was drinking more. by this time both girls were passing out on the couch. workers from the bar kept coming over to us. jean disappeared into the restroom. and christine laid there passed out. one of the bar workers was trying to get me to take her to a hotel room. we really didn't understand one another and he brought over some customer who tried to play interpretor. talk about chaos. eventually jean returned and we managed to get christine up. it was time to leave. i made sure that they both got into a cab and then i headed home. it was 4am by the time i reached my apartment.

needless to say friday was a very long day. i was exhausted all day long and i also had taekwondo to attend that night. jk told us that his two friends had a great time and that they want to do this at least twice a month. i just stared at him. i don't know if i can handle another night like this. and if so we should do it on a friday night instead. i barely made it through tkd and when i got home i went immediately to bed. so now its almost 6pm on saturday and i've done absolutely nothing. its actually been raining today so i don't really feel like i wasted my day. anyway thats my story and i'm sticking to it.

be well…
