So tonight was the last time I was gonna going to get to see Lydon and and my old boss Charlie (the nice guy) so we decided to go out for dinner. After a nice dinner of Korean ribs, we decided to head towards the bar. As kind of a last going away present, Lydon asked Charlie to drive to the Jeonju Red Light district. This has been kind of a long running joke between us where me and Spencer (mostly me) try to get Lydon to escort us to the Red Light District to translate for us. Every time he would get embarrassed and say no. He would only go so far as to tell us where it was...but as for actually going with he us he would never go. I doubt Spencer and I would ever actually utilize the services provided (not that I am against prostitution) because not only is there a pride issue, but I just don't think it is worth it for the price.
Either way, the RLD was more than I ever could have imagined it to be. Keep in mind that prostitution IS illegal in Korea, however the police definitely turn a very blind eye. The Red Light District is exactly that...a whole district. I'm talking multiple small side roads. It't pretty obvious what they are too because...get this. It's lined with long glass windows that go on forever, and sitting in chairs by the window are the hottest Korean women you have ever seen. Spencer and I couldn't believe it. I kept proclaiming "Ohl mai oh! Ohl mai oh!" (how much?!) to which Lydon responded with jumping out of the car and running to the door to find out the price. We watched as he did this and after a few seconds we saw the girls doing the big "X" signal with their arms. When he got back we asked what they said.
Lydon: "For me, 70,000 won ($62)"
Me: "And for us?"
Lydon: "They won't do it"
Spencer and I: "Why not?!?!"
Lydon: "They said your things are too big"
Spencer and I: *High Five*
