Friday Jo and I went to see Transformers. My first Korean cinema experience. It was great as the movies are in English with Korean subtitles!
Saturday was July 4th. So a few of us headed over to the airbase to be signed in by some guys called Swank, Slick and Riddler. There was lots of drinking, bonfires, dancing and merriment.
Victoria and I decided that we wanted to leave and tried to.... but we could as we had to signed out by Swank... who we couldn't find.. it was all very complicated and confusing and we ended up leaving with out our ID to come back later and get it.
We headed off to 'America Town' which was pretty seedy. There are bars, clubs and shops with 'American sizes.
I got a taxi home and the taxi driver proposed to me several times. I told him I was not interested and only went for black men. This did not deter him and he went in for a kiss goodbye when I got out of the taxi!!!
Today Helen and I had a date day. We went out for lunch, then had a stroll around Eunpa park. We went for a boat ride on the lake in a tiny little boat with a very very slow engine. We may have also broke the steering but it was all ok!
Then we went to our fabulous little coffee shop.
(photo pinched off Helen! Thanks!!!)
They have a music museum above the shop. Basically as you can tell by the picture they collect a lot of stuff.I think the shop and museum is just a front so they have space to show everything.
The museum was pretty amazing. There were old gramophones, wax cylinders and photo lps, all kinds. The woman lived in Germany so she would speak to us in mixed Hangul and German and showed us everything. She kept opening the cases and making us old things from the 1800's! At the end she said htere is no culture in Gunsan, no culture!
So yet another successful weekend in Gunsan!
