Any chance I can get to get nerds from all around the world to share in some nerd drinking and nerd socializing, I will take on the challenge and make it happen.
Last night, what started out as a small gathering of Starcraft aficionados ended up becoming a bit more than that. From having a Swede down an entire bottle of soju to having broken on Korean's hookah cherry... it was a nice night enjoyed by all.
Whenever I meet up with new people and want to take them out for dinner, this is the standard build order we follow.
We meet at Kangnam Station, exit 6 at 7pm. This is a very common meeting place and so there's almost always a slew of people standing around, waiting for their friends. Luckily, d.Apollo was wearing a bright pink shirt, making it easy for our fellow TLers to find us right away.
At around 7:30 we walk down towards this meat joint Jamie and I go to often - so often, in fact, that they greet us with a smile and basically know what we order each time. Here, we shared a scrumptious meal of beef, soju and beer. Around 8:30ish, we are joined by Artosis and Tasteless.
Here we are, after the dinner: Starting from pink shirt d.Apollo, behind him is Midian, Tasteless, PH (hidden behind Midian's head), SOCKS! (His Swedish name sounds like the Korean word for socks.. heh), David (no ID, and sitting behind me on the right), me, lastas (the hook up guy!), Artosis and ilikestarcraft.
Midian, Tasteless, PH, David, SOCKS
Lastas, ilikestarcraft, Artosis, d.Apollo and me
Jersey Representing!!
After dinner, (and by then we were all pleasantly buzzed) a few of the guys headed to the convenience store to get more beer and soju.
Outside the GS25
PH bet lastas 10,000 won to down an entire bottle of soju. To our surprise, he DID (I'm sure there was a bit of Swedish pride as well, that needed to be kept) Here he is with his empty bottle ^^
Next stop is almost always to Rainbow, the hookah bar that we frequently visit.
Things got a bit more sloppy here, but I guess that's what we expecting after sharing two hookahs and a bunch of buckets of alcohol.
Behold! The bucket! (The first of many)
I had to leave around midnight due to being a working woman. God only knows how those boys got back to their homes ^^ but all in all, had a great time meeting TLers and knowing that this amazing game is the link between nerds from all parts of the world.
I hope you guys had a good time too - and PH, hope you made it back to the states alright (especially in this rain). Enjoy your stay in Seoul and hope we can all cross paths again.

I'm seriously considering just moving to Korea. I don't know what I'd do for an income, though. I can't be a poker baller because I suck at it and I can't be a progamer because I suck even harder at that.
Maybe some nice couple will just let me stay with them and eat their food. I'd just kinda hang around and keep them company, like a puppy, you know?

If you have a university degree (4 year) then you can teach (usually contracts are 1 year in length and vary from private schools to public and Uni.) , if you've been a specialist in a certain specific type of job for a set amount of time (I think it's a few years) then you can get another form of working visa if you can find a company to sponsor you. Tourist visas tend to last about 3 months max here (at least for Brits.) so you need to leave the country (costs about $450 to fly to Fukuoka or take a much cheaper flight to China.) and then re-enter on another tourist visa. Also if you come over to study you can get a student specific visa (but you have to pay obviously.)

I do have some experience as a professional Female Nose Kisser. Perhaps I can rely on those credentials to secure a work visa.

I want to drink in a foreign country~

What the fuck
Rub it in more 누나

LOLOL. Oh man...I was drunk by the time we left the first place, so everything's kinda hazy. Photos turned out hilarious, though. That bucket thing was fucking evil, though.
iLs, about your wallet...like...haha.
While we were standing in the subway after we left, you were like,
iLs: "Man, I feel sick" PH: "Good thing we got the bag then...gotta puke in the bag" iLs: pukes in the bag... iLs: "Yeah, I puked in the bag" PH: "right on" iLs: "haha...my wallet was in the bag..."
while holding it up...

Looks amazing. Too bad - I am: 1) Not as fun 2) I don't drink
Other points are irrelevant.

... I barely drank that night. It was still fun to watch it all go down tho.
d.Apollo = shaun = guy in bright pink shirt.

Oh...I for some reason thought he was one of the Swedes.

Did any of you go watch yesterday's MSL group? I think I saw someone who looks like socks.
