Ever notice the pecking order of alcohol in Korea? Around payday you were in the clubs drinking OB or Crown. A few days after payday you were starting to watch your cash so you lowered yourself and drank the cheaper peach Oscar, Portaju and the dreaded Soju. My favorite mix was 7/8 soju and 1/8 grape soda. It went down like water and after about 4 of those it was all over when you got hit by the delayed reaction. One minute you were fine and then next you were out cold or acting insanely stupid, or both, and not necessarily in that order. Watch out, here comes town patrol!! [BD]
Towards the end of a payday we were usually so broke we would pool our money and head down to the mokkoli tents. The first bottle of that stuff was pretty nasty, sort of like drinking liquid chalk. After that you got used to it and it tasted okay. Anyway, it got you away from the ville and out to meet some of the locals, most of which were pretty cool and appreciated us GI's being there. Ammo bowls...been to quite a few! Skinny moms, BJ alley, panty plaques! Those were the days! Green beans, brown beans, red wings, white wings and green wings! IYAAYAS!!
