Sorry if this has been posted before but I was just wondering how many of you go out on the weekdays to have a good time either with friends or out to the bars/clubs?

If so where are you located and how has it affected both your wallet and workdays?

Just about to fly over and wondering what most of you guys do on the weekdays....hopefully I won't be in the apartment playing cod4 all night

No, when you get to a certain age here and you have a Korean girlfriend/wife, you aren't allowed to go out on the weeknights (and usually weekends too) unless it is with her friends.

So, for me, the answer is: no, I don't go out on the weekdays.

I sometimes go out weeknights but not often. I have hapkido 5 nights a week from 10-11 and teach privates a couple of nights a week. I used to go to the gym 4 to 5 nights a week as well. To tell the truth I never seem to have time to just relax.

The only reason you you will be playing cod4 is if you want to

Well back home here there isn't much going on. Just a bunch of rednecks driving around in pickups and a few dive bars

When your dating someone here you don't go out as much during the week. (just like back home, for me..) When i'm not dating someone, i tend to go out during the week more often than not.

Which chicken brand would that be? I'm partial to BBQ because it has more of a southern style to it. But if you're clued in to a different franchise that's better, maybe me and the ol' lady should hit that one up (in our area, not your turf). Now, only if she would let me drink. I peed in the bed one too many times stumbling in home on a soju drunk, so I got cut off.

Actually, I prefer not to go out during the week, but the "thirst" tells me to do different. Once the "thirst" starts calling, it doesn't stop until I drown it. I lost many good thirst's that way.Thursday is usually the time I start to get the "thirst", which usually results with me staying home on Friday. Then Saturday it calls once again.

I must go out once a week to keep me level. It really helps the next day of teaching if you knocked down a few the night before and let off some steam. Two days are ok too. Three to five starts pushing your health if you work in the mornings and drink a lot, stay out late, smoke, eat fried chicken, etc... When I worked in the evenings there was always the opportunity to go out and never many reasons to not.

Does Thursday and Friday's count as "weekdays"? Laughing
