Three things:
1. My birthday (though in all fairness, my birthday is today)
2. My friend's birthday
3. Same friend is becoming a father in a couple of weeks
Ran up an 80,000+ won tab. Since double jack/coke's are 10K won and I had a kamikaze shooter for 3,500, I'm projecting that I had 8 DJCs and the kamikaze shooter on top of the soju I drank before going to the bar. During my blackout state, I convinced my friend to pay for most of the tab.
Seeing that I went home alone in the cab, I consider it a miracle that I got home in the first place. I got dropped off at a hospital (normal stop for me) and the next thing I know, I am asleep on my bed. Nobody knows how I got home.
My hangover was so bad that it lasted into Monday morning.
-------------------
I drink plenty, but rarely to this point because of my medical condition (excessive alcohol consumption + forgetting to take meds = bad). Last time I did, I got my friend's girlfriend in a headlock and spent several hours calling her a whore. Nearly lost a friendship over it. In the end, I was right because 4 of her other sex partners were at the party excluding my friend.* So I was pretty proud of myself for being right when I was sober.
I stood in a firepit claiming that it was not a firepit. Stood between active and smoldering flames. Thankfully, I did not get burned.
Evidently, I chugged 2/3 a bottle of scotch whiskey on top of the liter of whiskey/coke, and two large bottles of beer I drank before. Friend showed the empty bottle to me.
I was impressed.
*Side note: She dropped all of the sex partners, has been sober for nearly 2 months and is in a steady relationship with said friend. The friend and I made amends for it.

In the end, I admire the honesty of many Koreans. I have lost many things and with exception to #5, all have been returned to me in some way. These are in chronological order.
1. Cell phone: I went to a swimming pool at a nearby college. For some reason, I give the phone to somebody at the pool. It gets returned to some administrative office. My friend, an English professor at the college, notifies the school who tells me to get it.
2. Wallet: Getting off of the bus to go to work. A Korean guy runs after me holding my wallet. I only notice him after a hundred feet or so (he ran after me across the street). He handed me the wallet and I tried to give him cab fare (it wasn't his stop) but he kept refusing it. Thought after 3 times he'd accept it. Felt sort of bad.
3. Cell phone (again): Fell out of my pocket in a taxi cab in Ulsan. Lady found it, called the first number on my phone address book and eventually the phone was mailed to a Korean friend nearby.
4. Sandals - I leave my sandals in a taxi cab while on the way to work. Cab driver quickly doubles back and drops my sandals off in the teacher's lounge.
5. 300,000 won - Walker Hill Casino in Seoul: Got black out drunk at a blackjack table. Floorman asked me to come back another time and I left immediately. Unfortunately, I left 300,000W on the table. Called the casino the next morning and never got it back. One hour later, I receive news that my father died.
6. iPod Touch - Left it in a rental shoe at a gym. Somebody found it and returned it to the front desk.
7. Wallet (again) - See above story
-------------
Unrelated note: Where is the little birthday cake thing that should be by my user handle? Unless this goes by Pacific Time or something like that.
