This year my birthday was a little low key. Dinner with friends, traipsing around Itaewon and partying in the streets of Hongdae. Actually, maybe low key isn't quite the word I'm looking for... maybe... scrumtralescent? My birthday was totally scrumtralescent. Enjoy the (at times, embarassing) photos:
Patrick and Kerri at Taco Amigo in Itaewon, where we had dinner. It was really yummy- chicken burrito, lightly flavoured with cilantro, black beans, nachos and rice on the side with plenty of freshly made guacamole and salsa. Oh, and one can't forget the frosty bottles of corona with a nice wedge of fresh lime... I can go on about the food here... you should all go to this joint.
Allison and Jeremy, avoiding my camera at all costs.

After dinner we strolled around Itaewon for awhile, taking in all the scantily clad ladies, the overly drunk American soldiers, and one very cute German Shepard I ran into. You never know what you'll find in Itaewon!
On our way to Hooker Hill, where one can find a quality soju cocktail establishment. I believe Hooker Hill's name is self explanatory.
Polly's Kettle! This stuff will seriously get you wasted (not that I did that, Mom- it's just a possibility).
They serve you the soj' in taseful cut-up pop bottles. It tastes delicious- the liquor is undetectable. That's why it's so dangerous.
After some embarassing Noraebang we ran into some friends from Suwon on their way to Hongdae. What a surprise! We were also on our way to Hongdae! Someone had the bright idea of sharing a cab.
When we arrived in Hongdae, this is how I found my friend Tristan. Don't ask questions; just go with it.
Of course I still had my party hat on. It was on all night!
But after seeing Tristan's hat I felt inadequate (sorry Kerri; it was a lovely hat, really). 
Tristan just looked so debonair! And this hat was so versatile. 
See? Ice cream cone.
Riding a motorcycle. 
Riding a bicycle? We're running out of ideas. 
In the end, I threw my purse and Kerri's inadequate (but lovely!) party hat in the street...
and that's when I really started to celebrate. Then the bar owner who also happened to own the massive cone came outside and took it back where it belonged. Happy birthday, me.
