MakJu Olympics

As an alien resident of another country, I feel the strong responsibility to both soak up all that I can about the local culture as well as share as much as I can about my own culture with all of the people around me. A cultural exchange if you will. The Korean people that I have grown to know and love have donated so much time and energy to ensuring that I enjoy myself in a Korean cultural sense (which in Korea, usually means lots of drinking) and so I have taken it upon myself to justly return the favor. Thus the birth of the MakJu (beer) Olympics. A 4 event tournament (beer pong, flip cup, taste test, and bat race) of epic proportions was waged in a basement dance room in Hwaseo-dong, Suwon. Friends were made, enemies were had, sweat was perspired, blood was spilled, tears were cried and of course, beer was drank.


Teams of 5 were formed. The majority of competitors were Korean and thus had little to no knowledge of each the games that would be played. Thus each team had at least one foreigner as a guide for each event. Teams then came up with a name and artisticly represented whom they were on their own flag. Issue, Superplayer, Moses, and Erin were doing just that in the pic below:

One of the teams flag's can be seen below. Their name was rather appropriate considering our location. "Kim Jong Il, Shib Se Ki" which basically means that Kim Jong Il (the North Korean dictator) is a Motherfu**er.











There was also a birthday party going down:




It was a night to remember
