Aliens, out with the Boss and my first Korean Concert
After my boss and her husband had finished taking me to give blood and urine samples to alien registration (fun!) we were invited out with them for the evening. In Korea there are rules which govern these sorts of occasions....whoever does the inviting, or is the most senior in status or age does the paying (score!) and if you're out with your boss then you can't refuse drinks that they put in front of you. I've heard soju horror stories, and Kyle's experience with his boss was not a good one. So I feared the worst. But my boss drove us out into the boonies to this ritzy golf club where there was an open air concert. Korean actually makes a decent sounding singing language oddly enough. We had a great time, the food was great, the temperature was perfect, and the music was good too. Clearly my boss has good taste. And they were very pleased that we liked their outing. That is, we liked it until the last act, where this crazy Korean pop star girl unleashed a barrage of ear splitting shrieks that had even my boss and her husband covering their ears. We had fun laughing at her and yelling "batman!" when her song went "dada dada dada dada". We were supposed to yell something else, but whatever.

What's alien registration? Sounds interesting...
yeah, don't send me the CD - Dad
Yea, so far I've just had to give them multiple bodily fluids. I might have to give them my first born son too, I'll have to read the fine print.
I won't send a CD don't worry.
Ha ha - love the batman comments! Sweet blog :P
