…so I don’t have to. Except for the captions.
Friday night darts at Dolce Vita resulted in a 1st place finish for me and my partner Su Mi and enriched us to the tune of W20,000 each.
For the last few weeks poor Steve (the guy on my left) has faced me in the finals and I’ve managed to prevail in some bizarre “pulling it of my ass” fashion. This week it was throwing 5 bulls for the finish.
That young lad in front is Bogdan who returned to Russia on Sunday after spending the summer in Seoul. He demonstrated good potential at darts and pool and was a champion when it came to downing shots. Go figure.
Saturday night found me in Songtan playing the Xenis Bar tournament. I had the good fortune to team up with the bar owner Vox who pretty much carried me to a 2nd place finish and put another W45,000 in my wallet. Well, actually it was Jee Yeun’s wallet that was enriched. But still.
Matt and his lovely lady Sohee also made the drip down to Songtan. The fan makes Matt look much better than he does in real life…
Took the bus back to Seoul early Sunday afternoon. I was feeling whipped but had a Sunday Singles League match to play against Vidal. After losing 9-7 I was feeling even more whipped.
No pictures available, but last night in the Seoul International Dart League we played our sister team from Dillinger’s Bar, the Dill Pickles. We played them close, but lost the match. I managed my first winning night (3-0 in singles, 3-3 in doubles) in a very long time however, so I felt pretty good about that.
Home Plus came through with 60 bottles of the coveted but surprisingly hard to find Coke Zero. Hopefully this will carry me through my final two weeks in Korea…
And that, sad though it may be, is pretty much my life these past few days. Picture that.
How long will you be out of Korea for?
One of life’s mysteries that, Kevin. Six months, maybe less. Still hoping a job offer will materialize, but not holding my breath…
KBS Broadcasting, man. They’re a-callin’. You’d be so perfect for that gig, whether as a simple news reader or as an actual commentator and radio personality.
Actually, I’d be happy to consider that. It sounds fun. One of the first things I intend to do when I get back home is get my F6 visa squared away. That should make me employable on the economy, although I’m still angling for a job on base. We shall see…
