Korea nightlife

Koreans have their very own culture when it comes to nightlife. During the competition in Busan we made a visit to a nightclub that looks more like a theatre then a discotheque. Not much of a dance floor space but all covered up wt Sofa chairs and tables.
The music is kind of a mix between Pet Shop Boys on ecstasy, Dj Bobo on speed. It's not just a simple Dj, it's a whole performance team. Mostly they do those really annoying "put ur hand up…" every few second, so u don't really get a beat. All of a sudden the Dj starts to strip and dance around the whole stage. So when he's standing there in a G-string, the stage setup changes and the music goes to slow-pop. Everyone that was dancing is sitting down again. It won't last more then 5min till the next performance is coming, this time a band is descending from the roof of the club on a platform. Actually a very good performance, after ten minutes they are leaving the stage and miracle sound s coming up.. what's happening… surprise, surprise the roof of the club is opening like apple slices and u can see the stars on heaven, nice one… So after another slow Mo session there are some girls performing, singing, dancing.. and well start to strip as well, but hold on.. it's ladyboys! So the night keeps on goin like that, dancing, slow Mo, dancing… and yeah drinking a lot of C1 schnapps and Hite beer (-:

Thx to all the very good guys in Korea, they paid all our bills the whole week… even the ones for the party.

We had a blast and will come back for sure…

Korea, Kite, Cold, Kimchee

Welcome to Korea

what can i say about Korea... first of all, nothing because i don't understand a single word and i can't read the signs, all i can say is kimchee... and that is one of the best dishes u can get in Korea, it comes with every meal..

So after my journey from Boracay 35°C to Busan 5°C i was lost at the airport. The pickup didn't work outand i had no contact nr, but lucky i had the Hotel adress... which is actually a Motel... that's the ones with dildos and porn movies in the corrido ((-: but hey it's clean and close to the Kitebeach.

So my first taxi driver had no clue where i wanted to go, even if i showed him the adress of my Motel, so he drove me around for half an hour till i told em to stopp and changed the taxi. The next taxi told me that i'm in comletly the wrong place, so i drove another half hour wt this taxi till i finally arrived. Was a bit strange to check into the Motel, but i was tired and fell asleep very quick.

So next morning first thing was get some food, which can be a very funny part if all menu cards are written in Korean, but lucky as i am there were 3pictures on the wall, so i just pointet out one of them and got lucky wt a noodle soupe and kimchee... So next step was to find an internet connection to tell Mr. Kim that i arrived last night and he missed to pick me up, so by midday he found me in the hotel.

I made a visit to the kitebeach, which is pretty large and shallow. perfect for freestyle - don't bring a race board, it' not deep enough (-: My first contact wt the water was shooockinggg cold... it's maybe 10-15°C so i will only judge this competition but for sure not touching the water.
So a the day passed by the we went for another Korean dinner wt at least 15 dishes on the table and to digest all of that healty food we went for some screen golf. It's a very funny way of playing indoor golf, the big difference is that u hit the ball towards a screen and not the open field.
After a short visit to a bar it was already bedtime, oh by the way.. i got a round bed...

So this morning also Yo arrived here, in shorts... first thing Korean breakfast.. kimchee and lot's of other stuff.. yummmie
and the story will continue hopefully wt some wind and a successful event.
pics will follow soon

over and out.... Read Full...

Now that this season is finished we're already lookin into the next one, and for that reason i will travel to Korea end of the month, to Busan or Pusan to judge a local competition wt some invitational international kiters. I will also check out the location for a possible tourstop next season.
Hopefully after that we can also attend the kitejambouree in El Gouna, Egypt and then head home to see some extended family.
