Hey all. I'm kind of buried in my work right now. It's the beginning of the semester over here and I'm new so...I'm learning on the fly. They do things pretty different over here.
I'm going to Fukuoka, Japan on Thursday, March 22nd. I'll be there for 2 or 3 days. While I'm there I'll be picking up my full one year Korean E-2 work visa. I hope to do a little sight seeing while I'm there. I'm not really talking about the trip to my Korean friends because the Korean and Japanese people are not really fond of each other. Just the mention of kareoke infuriated one of my teenage students. She quickly informed me that kareoke is Japanese and should not be spoken of in Korea. So I'm trying to keep the peace here. I just refer to them as singing rooms or "Norae-bangs."
This past weekend I'd planned on going to Seoul, but it just didn't pan out. It was my new friend Lucy's birthday and we went out Friday night and had a good time. Lucy is from Manchester, England. Also there, was Ben from Auckland, New Zealand and Richard from New York. And I can't leave out Rod from New Foundland, Canada and Rob also from Manchester, England. We had a great time checking out Incheon on a Friday night. On Saturday, I experienced Korean cinema for the first time. Just buying the ticket was an experience. The girl at the ticket counter had a small notebook with English expressions that she wanted to try out on me. Sunday afternoon, Ben and I took about an hour hike through Incheon that we hadn't seen yet.
I'm in between classes right now. My next one starts in less than five minutes, so I'll check back with you later. Bye for now.
