What do you mean the Kareoke bar is really a strip club?!!??
OK, this is going to be quick, but just a recap: Saturday was fun, I slept in late for the first time since being here, hooray. I went to school to prepare for Monday and then went out with Jaclyn for street food for dinner, which was quite delicious, and then we set off in search of a bar to get a drink. We found a great looking joint with a picture of a woman singing into a microphone on the front of the door. Since kareoke bars are quite prevalent here, I assumed it was that and got even more excited that we were going to sing kareoke! FUN! When I got to the entrance of the bar, a very confused-looking Korean man came to give me the Korean symbol for "no" which is your hands crossed in front of you like an "X". I said, "We wish to get a beer." He said, "NO WOMEN. MEN ONLY. WOMEN LIKE THIS (then he proceeded to make stripping motions with his hands)." "Ohhhhh, this is a strip club!" I said, "YES." he replied. Then we left. So, moral of the story is that, korean strip clubs bare a striking resemblance to korean kareoke bars. SUNDAY: moved into my new apartment, finally, and I LOVE it. It's a loft apartment with a small kitchen, living space, and bathroom. The bathroom is the best part... it's actually called a "wetroom" because the shower, toilet, and sink are all in one open space. The shower head is loose and sits on the sink, and you must literally pick it up and rinse your body in order to "shower". The entire room gets sopping wet and then dries farely quickly, yay. Just had my first shower experience in the wetroom. This is definitely going to be different than what I'm used to! Tomorrow is a school day, and I cannot wait! So excited!!!!
