Buddha's Birthday Bash

Time for the Fat Man's birthday.....long weekend time. WOOHOO

The Plan...head up to Chuncheon Thursday night...party...off to stay in a cabin Friday and Saturday in Inje, Gangwon-do.....party. Sunday...feel terrible and revel in weekend antics.

Love this time if year. The weather is turning pretty hot and all you wanna do is go outside. So where better to go than the countryside......This is Min's Cabin. The owner is the closest thing to a hippy a Korean can be. He's awesome and his job is basically to entertain people who come and stay. This includes white water rafting, drinking, cooking bbqs, drinking, table tennis, drinking, horse shoes, drinking.....you get the picture. Our first day he was awake for about 30 hours. Legend

Set in the mountains of Inje, the cabin is a really cool retreat from inner city struggles. We had a cool little room that could probably have slept 8. I use sleep in a lose term as it's traditional floor sleeping. Not my cup of tea. But we drank enough to get over that. 



We start the night in Chutown as pirates..cause pirates are cool. We maybe stayed out longer than planned....I blame Jenn



Start the night as pirates....of course
Hungover, (and in Adnan's case looking like the proverbial hipster) but full of a pretty good brunch we make our way.
Braces...like a sir
It was pretty busy and we had to sit in the middle of the bus. Not sure this is legal in England....but Korea....no worries. (turned out we'd be doing a lot of improved seating in public transport that weekend)
T was in a pretty bad way....hehehe
But the sun was shining and we were finally on our way....
Not very happy
The bus to Inje wasn't much fun....I've never been more tempted to fart on someones head. 
 The weekend is spent chilling during the day...enjoying the surroundings. Streams, rivers, horse shoes, frisbee and sun bathing, card games and an interesting and competitive game of scatagories.
Another group of foreign teachers came with Andrei so there were about 20 people or so causing shenanigans.

The evenings were spent eating bbq and drinking games til the very early hours. Min runs on an honour system and everyone really just helps themselves and crazy cocktail concoctions. Min's awesome!!


Good times

Jenn came out with some crackin remarks this weekend...."i've had this birthmark
since I was born"


Safety First


It's Sunday and I'm hungover and I've just re read this post.

It's written so badly that I'm gonna stop now and just leave it as is......enjoy












Meeting new people
Being a pirate
Playing beer pong




"I drank all this????"


















The worst journey home of my life.

It took 8 hours to get home.....we were uber tired. But an awesome weekend was had by all.
