So drinking here is far too easy. A Jack Daniels and Coke will set you back a whopping E3.97. I think that I may indeed find many positive points about this country. However, despite great intentions we failed to make it to the U2 bar and so had to settle for bars downtown where in one bar there was a hideous first year music school type band number attempting to play music. While the bass player was rather talented, the drum player kept dropping his sticks (possibly due to his sporting of rather dark glasses in an already dark basement bar), and the saxophone player needed a lesson in proper air inhalation versus music production.
The next bar produced some old friends and the disturbing realisation that some people really ought not be let near music controllers. Example in point- Ian went to a bar where there is a pc available for all people to download music from the net. Cool you may think. Indeed, until you consider the fact that Audioslave was interrupted by an Irish guy who put paid to the aforementioned song and instead played Tatu "All the Things she Said". I hung my head in shame and attempted to recover Irish/Korean relations. To no avail. The entire bar gazed in great amusement at the speakers wondering who in their right mind felt it was necessary to inflict Russia's greatest export since Sputnik on otherwise sane people.

On the local armed forces TV channel ( the American Army provides me with all the OC that I need. GodBlessAmerica), there is the Christian/Baptist Who knows what is really going on Ministers, insisting that we are all going to hell. I feel obliged to watch them and pay great attention, seeing as other people in the world are paying way more than E3.97 for Jack Daniels and Coke and that is just wrong so I ought to go pray for those that are paying way more and hope that the Vintners Association will listen to my silent prayers
