Last week the whole gang got together to celebrate Helen's birthday in true expat fashion, that is with drinks, karaoke, and lots of food.
We all headed over to the lucky birthday girls house on a warm Saturday evening about five thirty to enjoy some beer and vodka watermelon libations that I had whipped up with my new, at least new to me, blender.
After a few hours of drinks, snacks and stories while watching a gorgeous red sunset, we headed off for the birthday dinner of bossum, boiled pork, at our favorite place just down the road, Arirang Bossum.
It was a great crowd that we had that night. There were people from A.P. and Helen's school, Dari, along with friends from around Sokcho, both old and new as we ate drank, and had a good time.
After dinner we headed out to the Western to continue the party. I left early, as I usually do, to get in some time writing and hanging out at my place, but I here that the rest of the crowd hung out at the Western and then the Karaoke bar till about five that morning and a good time was had by all.
