Teddy's Party & Bjork Concert

Saturday was a fun filled day from start to finish. I met up with Shelly, Raymond and Jes at 1 o'clock and we headed off to Teddy's House for a pot-luck party with a bunch of other regular customers from Bar Bliss. Ted's place had everyone drooling with envy. He has a fantastic view of the Han River, has huge plants making the living room feel like a jungle and his trinkets from all over the world added to the place's feel. With bright red and yellow walls, it definitely did not feel like a stale Korean apartment.

The party was fun and Shelly, Raymond and I were having such a good time we were half an hour late in leaving for the Bjork concert. This wouldn't of been too bad except the taxi driver took us to the wrong extrance to Olympic Park and we had to make a mad dash through the park to find the concert hall. Thankfully the show started late and we had five minutes to spare before Bjork took the stage.

The concert itself wasn't the best. Bjork only sang for an hour and twenty minutes and didn't perform many of her more famous songs. I do like the new album so it wasn't so bad but I would of loved to of heard "Violently Happy" or "It's Oh So Quiet". Bjork just seemed to be going through the motions and couldn't wait to leave the stage when she finished singing "Declare Independance". I'm not a fan of artists like this. The show was good but only good. I'll definitely be skipping her next concert.

After the show we decided to let the crowds leave before us and we went into the closest GS25 for a beer. After the demand for taxi's let down we went to meet up with the others from the party who had now moved onto Bar Bliss. It was the perfect end to a great day of fun.
