Monkey Beach is a cheap club in Apgujeong, the ritzy area of Seoul that boasts a sort of Rodeo Drive shopping area (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apgujeong). Never go here! You think that it is a good idea when you here about the buckets of alcohol and free glow-in-the-dark glasses, but do not be taken in! I figured "It's in Apgujeong, so even though it's cheap, it must still have some class." Wrong.
A picture with the birthday boy, whose bright idea it was to come here. I won't hold it against you... :)
You think I would be happy with my 12,000 won rum and coke (my second, free one because they took my first one away before I was done! Luckily I was with a Korean friend who could tell them where to put their bucket. Back into my hand!) and my free glow-in-the-dark glasses, but I could not enjoy my time there. I heard Tubthumping by Chumbawumba THREE times! This song was voted 12th most annyoying song by Rolling Stone and they played it thrice, among other songs that must have been on the CD they were playing.
We are trying to be classy, sipping our buckets leisurely at our reserved table...
...but it's hard to do with all the stripper poles and shady GIs that are there!
I was so angry that I could have pulled the snot out of a Korean man's nose. Oops. Monkey Beach de-classed me...! Why????

Were there any monkeys?
There were some deranged looking monkey stickers stuck on the buckets, but that was about it. What a sham, right?
