Patio Life




Blogger is acting up with photos so this weekends fun has taken awhile. Friday night was a diet of fried chicken and beer but by drinking outside I was able to sweat the calories out. Saejin worked later than usual so it wasn't until well after 10 that I joined him and Chung Sun in Kangnam. They chose one of the chicken joints just round the corner from TGIF. We had been there a few months ago and the atmosphere is great for sweltering summer nights but when I rounded the corner the number of tables ouside was cut in half.

At first I thought it might of been because of the hour but later on in the night a gaggle of men dressed in suits and clipboards came round. The jolly playful ajuma who had just taken our order suddenly transformed into a cold scowling ajuma with her elbows up. Turns out that laws are now being enforced here and the tables could not extend beyond a certain point. Our table was on that border and definitely a point of contention. We quickly paid our bill and left. From there Saejin and I went to the Mini Stop and had a couple more beers before calling it a night.

Saturday night was Jenny's going away party. It was at Carney Station (an all you can eat and drink buffet). Enough said.
