Last Weekend

Last weekend was actually a little "cultural". Not Saturday, really though. We spent Saturday night in Songtan hanging out with some friends. We happened across a bar that had some live music pouring out of it. Justin and I aren't really into bars and nightlife, but we decided to check it out (we do like live music). They were playing a song we knew. Turns out, the bar was not bad at all. Not too crowded, and not smoky. We stayed until the band quit for the night. They were awesome! We knew every song they played. The bassist had a really nice 6 string and a beautiful 7 string fretless. The singer could do so much with his voice too. The band is the 99 band, and they were playing in the 99 bar just outside the main gate of the base. We plan on going next time the play, June 13th.

Next day the plan was to go with a few people bungee jumping. Not me, of course. I would be the photographer. By the time we were out of bed and able to get others on the phone, it was too late in the day. Apparently the tickets sell out early. It also takes 2 hours at least to get there. So we decided to go to Suwon instead. It is about 6 stops away on the subway. We went to see the Hwaseong Fortress and Palace. It was very cool. The steps going up to the fortress wall were so scary!! They were huge! There was an awesome tree that is over 600 years old. It was badly damaged in a fire in the 80's(?) and rehabilitated.

So after a long day of looking at Korean history, we went back to Osan to play some Rock Band. We have also found a decent pizza place. They had hawaiian, so I was happy. It was a good weekend with good friends. I have spent a lot of time at home lately, but prefer it that way. The baby is growing so much! All my energy is used up. It has been great spending so much time with our Osan friends. I found out about the river here in town too!! It is very nice. Has a good path alongside and stepping stones to cross.
