Stuck in Korea

Ok. Don't get me wrong. I love Sokcho. But it does have its limitations when it comes to finding new things to do. Such as last night. Played cards, went to a noraebang and stayed there for three hours. Quite a session, fuelled by tons of soju, and I somehow still have my voice. I'm impressed, especially because I have a really irritating habit of being a microphone hog when I'm drunk. My throat really ought to be raw right now. Surely we could have come up with something a little more original to do on a Saturday night though? I guess not.

I'm a bit worried as that makes two nights in a row that I've ended up in a noraebang. Karaoke's awesome fun, it just requires alcohol and a complete lack of shame. Please don't judge me unless you've lived here. This town is not overflowing with a variety of choices in the evenings. You could go bowling or play pool, but it's all no smoking or drinking here. Which fool came up with that idea??? Or you could go to one of the nightclubs. I would rather spend a month in a Turkish prison, to be honest. Nightclubs in Sokcho make me want to go bowling. So the choices are bars, noraebangs and playing cards at friends' houses. There must be something else in this town to do...

Just watched England beat South Africa in the rugby. Bloody English. That's put me in a foul mood. Plus I've got to go back to work tomorrow. So it's off to bed I go.
