BOOKING CLUBS

I was up nice and early for the trip down to Pusan. Hyang Na and some of her mates were taking me down there for a day trip. It's the second largest city in Korea and supposedly much nicer than Daegu. That's pretty much all I know about it.

Haeundae was nice. It was a beach. Had a few coronas at TGIF (They have also embraced the US chain invasion) and headed to Kwangali. It was a bridge. It did look very nice at night. My uncle (Hyang Na's dad) took me to dinner at the top of Palgongsan. Hyang Na's mother is absolute hoot. She cracks me up cause she's so bolshie and opinionated. I really like her. Her Dad has also spent a lot of time overseas so he is pretty open-minded.




Booking clubs. What the hell are they are? It seems like a uniquely Korean phenomena to me. As I have never been apparently this is what happens. In the dimly lighted clubs of Korea, in packs of three or four, the male of the species will purchase tables to sit and drink alcoholic beverages. The type of beverage purchased will be a indication to the females of the ability for the male to care for future young. The females will stand on the other side of the club leaving an empty space called "a dance floor". The male will select a female that he is interested in and ask the facilitating species called "a waiter" to cajole and drag the female across to the male's table. The female will make a ritual show of reluctance as a indication of her purity and chasteness. Then the real excitement begins. The male will attempt to convince the female of his worthiness using wit and charm with the ultimate aim of getting "a phone number".

Funny thing is that the only people I know that have been are all my mates as clients take them out to show them a good time (get them laid).

Somehow my aunty had heard that I was keen to mix it up in Daegu. However she had gotten the impression that I wanted to go to a booking club. I quickly disabused her of that notion. By dumb luck it happened to be club night in Daegu. This meant that for 10,000 won you would get entry into four clubs. What I didn't understand is that they were all hip hop clubs and pretty much the same. I couldn't tell the difference. Have you noticed when chicks fight that they have no rules? They will pull hair, bite, scratch and use high heels (the pointy bit). Maybe that's why I enjoy watching them so much. Anyway, had a great time with my cousin though was exhausted by 3 AM. For a small girl she can really sink some piss and has endless energy.

Damn I think I’m getting old.
