Fam,
Yesterday was the Fourth of July. And I'm sure the bbqs back home was smoking, the crabs were spread out over the table, and fireworks were lighting up the sky! Well, less the fireworks (well major ones) my fourth of July was freeking awesome!
Only two months in and I co-hosted a July 4th rooftop bbq. There were hotdogs, hamburgers, charred chicken wings smothered in bbq sauce and side dishes galor. I had to give the crowd a little something extra so I introduce my homemade chocolate fudge brownies and soju cocktail -- its a creeper. (It's the bartender in me, that's what I do!)
The music was reminiscent of home, from Marvin Gay's let's get it on, to Biggie, biggie, biggie can't you see... We even cupid shuffled!
Yesterday I was transported back to the States for a few hours. The American luv was in the air, festivity was rampant and everyone's energy was high.
So much so that we didn't end the night there, we headed as a large group to the local foreigners' bar Rhythm and Booze were we danced into the wee morning hour to Hip hop and Ol' school rnb.
You would have thought we'd be finished there but no, we kept the party going and moved over the one of the largest norabang rooms I've ever been in (Korea, just keeping on giving surprises), and you know I sung my heart out!
Like most things here in Korea, yesterday was a memorable experience I know I won't forget.
So Happy B-day America! I'm proud of you and the direction you've finally decided to take.
Eh, it took 233 years but who's counting?
Peace & Blessings
Derek
