Reliving the Past in Västerås

This weekend I reunited with not only Vanessa, who by the way has scored herself a sales job in Stockholm beginning 1 September, but also with a few other Swedes who I met in Korea and a Korean girl who is seeing one of them. We all gathered in the city of Västerås, where three of the Swedes hail from, and enjoyed a barbeque comprising of both Swedish and Korean dishes during which we consumed much grog and played the hilarious drinking games that we all learnt and enjoyed in Korea. We all just seemed to pick up where we left off when we all went our separate ways after our semester in the ROK; it was as if we never left the country

Afterwards, when the sun set (i.e. 11.30pm!!), we all progressed to a bar in town and then to a club like none I have ever visited. The whole place was painted white with white curtains draped throughout, highly made-up blonde girls dressed in tight-ankled jeans stood drinking with one another as a middle-aged man who appeared to have been stuck in the 80s danced half-naked against a pole after having a bit of a dance-off with Martin, and the very Swedish computerised music could have easily come from the Transformers soundtrack. The Korean girls and I found it all very fascinating. We had such a great time dancing despite the fact that us non-Swedes had a little trouble dancing to the bizarre rythym and we all buggered by the time the sun began to rise again (i.e. 3.00am!!!). It was absolutely awesome to have such fun with these guys again. Next time we do I hope that it's back in my homeland!
