Work Party...Korean Style

Posing for a pic with my Korean teachers Miss Clara and Miss Jia.

     Tonight, my Poly director hosted an employee dinner for the foreign and Korean staff.  We went to a Korean barbeque (you cook your meat on the grill built into the table).  The food was great and I was able to get to know my Korean teachers.  It was interesting, watching the dynamics of Korean business.  It is common practice to go out and get very drunk with your bosses.  In fact, many drink each night and still manage to arrive at work early in the morning.  My Director and superiors had plenty to drink.  In fact, a little too much to drink.  In a way, it was relieving to see them out of their shell.  I was even told that I was one of the best teachers at Poly!

     After dinner, we went to a Norabang to sing and dance.  One of the directors rented two rooms and all the beer and snacks that you needed.  It was a great time; however, I felt very uncomfortable singing in front of my boss (and student's father).  I would have a few snacks and then move to the other room to belt it out.  It was a very well deserved evening.
