Last night i went out and had a blast. Perhaps i had a bit too much soju...but it is korea. soju is drank like water here. you order a bottle, and a bottle of cider and out comes 3 shot glasses. you cheers to everything and it's a good deal of fun. after the first round it gets better...and i was sipping on mine. it is a korean tradition that when someone new is around you take them out and treat them to a night on the town. i was lucky to have mine on my first real day here!
so i slept like a babe last night and it was great. i woke up today around 1pm haha and realized, oh shit! i need to go get birth control. i jumped online to get the name of the brand that i want to take and set off on a birth control adventure. i went to the front desk and asked him where the pharmacy was. he seemed confused so i started fake coughing and pointing to my throat. he came back with some tylenol sinus, i thanked him and asked him about the pharmacy again. he found a girl who spoke some english and she led me out side and told me to go left.
well i was walking left, and left, and maybe in squares when i see an american couple. you better believe i tagged them down! their names are Lacey and Caleb, and they are from Texas. I asked if they knew where the pharmacy was and they said....YES! so they pointed me in the right direction and then at the last second, lacey said i'll go with you to show you. they paid for my bus fare and took me straight to the pharmacy. the pharmacist spoke english and i got my BC right away, for $6 over the counter. woot woot! it's an irish brand that a lot of people seem to enjoy...the pack is really weird, i'll take a picture eventually. but yeah...that was my adventure so far today. now i'm back in the room drinking delicious water and watching bad korean television. i might try and go back to sleep. i keep telling myself that sleeping a lot is okay since i didn't really get to sleep off my jet lag yet.
