This week has been more random than others. Monday night after work Britt and I had mentioned we were going for pizza. When Mr. Moon caught wind of our plans he decided that he would take the staff out for snacks and drinks as a bonding activity. So the 4 teachers, branch manager, and Mr. Moon (company owner) all headed to The Beer Gallery for snacks and drinks. I am sure we ordered one of everything on the menu, and sampled many types of beer. Lets just say that we are all fully bonded, and I now know much more than I ever wished to know about certain people. Mr. Moon also decided that since Britt and I has never been to a karaoke bar in Korea that we needed to give it a try as well. Karaoke bars are very popular here, and are on every street corner. The concept is the same as at home (sing the song with the words), but the set up is very different. Each group gets there own room, with a couch and table. It is like a VIP lounge at a bar. You pick your songs and sing the night away; also Koreans do not like to finish a song, they sing one course and move on. Britt and I mostly enjoyed the talent/ lack there of from our co-workers, but we did preform some old school Backstreet Boys for them. Today we also received a gift from Mr. Moon, we assume it is in honor of the Lunar New Year which is this coming weekend, but we are unsure. He gave us a lifetime supply of seaweed paper (sushi wraps). I am not sure what I am suppose to do with it, but it is the thought that counts. I must say the packaging it came in was very nice. This weekend Britt and I make our way to the big city of Seoul. We are excited and have a jammed pack travel itinerary so be sure to check back for updates of our journey. For all you 1986 babies this is our year, the year of the Tiger. Happy Lunar New Year!
