Bumber cars with the Uzbeks

Grandad: "Kevin wants to emigrate to Australia, nothing going for a young lad in the UK anymore."
Mum: "Well if he emigrates I'm going with him."
Grandad: "What are you going to go as...excess baggage?"

Wednesday we arrived in Daegu, an hour bus ride from Gyeongju. Daegu is much bigger than Gyeongju, much more built up and unlike Gyeongju, has bars :D There weren't any hostels left that we could find so we stayed at Hotel Crystal. Ruth's mates from Seoul, Wendy, Fountain and Chelsea stayed there too. We decided to go to the Woobang land , the local amusement park, as it was Chelsea's birthday. Shaun and Andre came with us too, two of our friends living in Daegu.



We picked the wrong day for it like, it rained all day and the powers that be at Woobang land decided to open only four rides. We still had a lot of fun though. The first ride we went on was the Ghost train, although Ruth bottled out.



After that was the merry go round.



Our next ride was the bumper cars and we spent ages on these. Here, we met a group of middle aged Uzbekistanis. I know we live in a small world, but it's not everyday you meet a group of ageing, plump, and mostly drunk Uzbeks, on the bumper cars, in Korea. 



From here they followed us to the Himalaya ride.


The girls then went home to get ready, because need a ridiculous amount of time to get ready(but it was worth it, they looked awesome!), so we went to play pool. That night we met with everyone else in a chicken a beer bar. There was a lot of beer and a lot of flavoured Soju and the bill came to about 350,000\. That's about 200 quid!



From there we moved to Thursday Party were  a lot of Oasis songs were raped by our drunken tones.


The ale got the better of Chelsea and she puked into Roland's hand. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture but the one below says it all.


Daegu was class. There doesn't seem to be much there to see. In fact the only thing in my guide book about Daegu is restaurants and bars. But the amusement park there is great. And it has Uzbekistanis! But most of all it's a great night out, especially with the people we know there.
