When there for a 3 day pass ( training break doing Corba Gold 94 ). Me and a buddy went out to Texas Street and you know how they have bars on both sides of the street full of Russians and Korean/Phillpino girls. Well, the Russians are there as Merchant Marines working off big fishing boats that come ashore and the people come to trade off much of there clothes and other belongings for a few Korean items such as furs, silks, etc., to look good in. Kinda like the poverty state Russia is in, they can look good in Korea at least. Anyway, they are very friendly and they buy you drinks left and right when your at the club with them. Well, two Russians guys ( our age ) invited us back to their ship dock out in Pusan harbor. Being little drunk at the time, we both just said sure. So we took a taxi over there, went onboard after going threw a weak security check point ( no ID check ) and we went on board. Well, 1am, turned to 3am ( drinking and playing guitar ( don't ask me why now, lol ) We all passed out and me and my buddy woke up where we passed out. Still on this Russian ship. Now mind you, where both in the US Marines and sleeping on a Russian ship. I woke up and was like WTF, WTF thinking this ship could be out to sea,, lol. But we got up and headed outside and it was still docked. I don't think the US Government would have like to known two US services people where shacked up for a night on a Russian ship,, lol. One of the Russian guys gave me these two coins. This money with Stalin's face on it was all destroyed back at the end of W.W.II as I was told. So to have any of it is very rare, yet what a collectors piece they make. I've just hung onto them all these years. Russian money with one Ireland ( I think ) 
Old Russian coins they told me money with this guys face on it was destroyed. Who knows if it's worth anything now. 
Tour book I got out in town 
Mink Blanket on my bed :) Love to feel 
Silk sheets, pillow cases and a Confuter with a huge Golden Dragon on it ( they never get used ) 
Korean money and a phone coin, the Pusan tower ticket. 
Money I got from Somalia back in 92 just before the Army got there and when all that crap went down like in the movie " Blackhawk Down ". Yes, I was even shot at over there, but it was fun :)
