Korean Games

I spent 6 hours yesterday at my classmate Soyeon's house playing crazy Korean games. First we played Yut, which is basically just Sorry except that you roll sticks instead of dice, and Korean girls yell at you when you do something wrong. Then we started playing same games which should by all rights be drinking games. In Korea, however, the loser is punished with a physical beating instead of shots. The beatings started out innocently, with a simple 2 fingers on the wrist, but gradually escalated to something that is called "Indian Bop," in which the loser must lie in the middle of a circle of people who then start wailing on the loser while chanting Indiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, culminating in a giant BOP! and final giant slap. All of which would have been tolerable if it were not for Yujin, who had an uncanny knack for painful wrist slaps and delayed BOPS.
