CandyCaneSammy and The Dragon bid Farewell to Bibimbop and Soju

The Strange Seouls recently had a visit from some very special world travelers: JT Dragon, Educator to the Chi-town Munchkins, and Sire Sammy, Holder of the Candy Cane Camera.  These two college colleagues spent two weeks taking in the sights of Seoul. They visited palaces, a baseball game, a kindergarten song festival, and, best of all, the Strange Seouls. 

Spending Sire Sammy’s birthday in Itaewon, the Strange Seouls gathered at a popular hookah bar with some Korean friends.  It was a good beginning to the journey, as it would be filled with booze, laughter and adorable photo ops. 

After a few more nights in Seoul, the couple headed off for Jeju Island, the land of romance.   The island was a very special trip for the two and they returned with a lovely souvenir, even if it was at the cost of some sandals.  They then returned to their Strange Seouls and continued the sight-seeing and entertainment.  After a Noraebang in a small setting, the Strange Seouls invited their Korean co-workers to come and join Sire Sammy and The Dragon for a few drinks and a sing-song.  It was a magnificent night that included Ace of Base, The Village People, New Kid on the Block, Madonna and much much more. 

Thank you very much for your visit, worldly travelers. We enjoyed your company and the reminders of Chicago that came with your visit.
