Couch surfing: Alex - Nov 9 - 12

So my second attempt at couch surfing was pretty successful. Meet Alex, a Russian Torontonian well-travelled and just starting a new 4-6 month backpacking journey in Asia. We totally had fun hanging out, and he went on this temple stay at the Zen Buddhism Centre. I think I'm going to head there myself soon.

So after his temple stay, he came back to stay a couple more nights and we went to Hongdae to scope for some electronica. We ended up going to M2 bar, which was playing some kickass trance. We were the only foreigners there and the place was pretty empty, but it was all good, we danced as much as humanly possible. At first people were a little shy, but with two people dancing full energy, it eventually gets contagious and the place was pretty hoping at one point. This one guy kept saying, "The best!" and giving me thumbs up :P It's a nice release, dancing like that. I hadn't done it yet in Seoul because all my coworkers aren't into "techno." Le sigh.

Staying out until 4 AM on a workday rules. Here's to 2:00 PM start times for work!
