"It's their fault...
...If they didn't want us to break anything they shouldn't have given us footballs."
That was spoken by Kevin, one of three Canadians in town visiting my friends Jake and Maren. He had just accidentally thrown the promotional soccer ball that the bar was giving out into a glass pitcher of beer that tipped over and cracked on the table. This happened midway through my comment of "Oh, this isn't going to end well..."
We were told that we'd have to buy the broken pitcher and were all shocked to learn that they are $50 a piece. They were nice enough pitchers, with the name of the bar on them, a heavy silver handle and a cool freshness stopper but they certainly weren't worth fifty bucks. We talked the waiter down to $40 and a free order of nachos. We laughed about it for the rest of the night which ended around 3 after a trip to a karaoke room.
This incident doesn't top last weeks drunken bar-b-que that ended with a trip to the emergency room (A sliced foot and 8 stitches later and Casey's fine...). These are both prelude to our 8-hour bus ride today to Sorak-san, Korea's most popular national park. We're spending the weekend there and it looks like its going to rain the whole time so we'll see what exactly we get up to. Hopefully we'll return with no one injured or anything of value broken.
