We started off the evening with a spread of steaks, brats, ribs, chicken, lobster, veggies and of course kimchee!
We had a great setting that allowed each of us to be taken back into a reframe of civility and luxury. Away from the brown smear that invades most of our perception. I also got introduced into Korean pop music which had some good beats.
When I was only halfway done with my meal I noticed Mr. Kim the admin manager lit up a ciggie. When I asked him if he was done with his meal what looked like half way through for him too, he replied, "The food is the appetizer to the drinks". My kind of people.
I ate about 3 lobsters out of the hundred and, don't get me wrong I enoyed every exquisite bite, but I am still perplexed as to why it's the most expensive animal that I know of that you can eat
The night progressed into what they perceived as "drinking contests". Departments were paired against eachother and cultures against eachother. I abstained however because I wanted them to have their little moments of victory. If they only knew, hahaha.
It took about one and a half hours for the first guy to tap out. I will give him this though. He did win about 8 drinking contests of wine and whiskey. We wrapped it up after about 3 hours and had to literally wheel a different Mr. Kim out and guess who the lucky winner was to carry him up to the 2nd floor and put him to bed? This guy. He was litterally snooring on my back the whole time... not a clue.
After I put all the Koreans to bed I went to hang out with some Bechtel crew and there were a few from TN, Ringgold, and N.O., which was nice.
After a few more drinks it was off to bed time b/c I had to wake up early, my 1st Sunday ever, before noon.
