Last Week's Fun and Frollicks...

So, I promised last night to get you all up to speed. And if you're still alive after reading the epic post then well done, and I promise to make tonight's a quick one.

I really love how truely random living in Korea is! I've shed my super organised life (I laughed when I said organised - if you did too, you know me well. BUT...when it came to knowing when I had to be somewhere and what I needed to do that day I was spot on!) and do things as I do them. This frees me up for meeting up with friends at the last minute and just enjoying life! Whooop!

After semi decorating my apartment (I know I'm early, but I just couldn't wait!) on Sunday night I collapsed into bed to catch up on some long needed sleep. I wasn't sleeping very well the week before Busan, but the weekend really sorted that out for me :)

Monday saw catching up with a couple of friends, and telling them about the weekend, lesson planning, which partially involved making a scrabble board out of the vocabulary words one of my class was using!

I even drew all the pictures from the book myself! I was quite pleased with my effort, and the kids loved it :D

Then as I settled down with my home made stew on Tuesdat night I got a phone call inviting my out to Beer Bank (the one and only place to drink in Yeonghae) so I put everything away and went along to meet two lovely Korean teachers and one of the Canadians. I was 'encouraged' to try Hite and Soju bombs, which were definitely not as bad as I thought they'd be. I actually think putting them together might have improved their flavour!! And maybe improved my singing (?) as we went to the Noribang for some karaoke! It was funny, and the lads definitely got into it! As you can see from Terry's expression!

After that it was home to bed. But not before putting up a bookshelf (I promise I'll start uploading pictures of my apartment soon!!)

Thursday saw one of the American's birthdays, so off to Beer Bank we went, where we met his mum (she was lovely!) and partook in singing and eating Oreo birthday cake! And I didn't heave at the taste of the Orea, in fact I almost liked it! Hehehe...I hope you like the action shot of the blowing out of the candles!

Friday was uneventful for most of the day, until the American couple's house failed. They had no heat and no gas (both are needed in Korea at this time of year!) so after class a few of us huddled waiting for the repairman with cups of tea and hot chocolate made in the microwave! They were pretty tasty! After everything had been restored we went to dinner and then Beer Bank to chat away the night.

As a little side note, I've found learning about the American and Canadian culture as interesting as learning about Korean culture! I'll try and remember to write something about it one day :D

Love you all xx
