Cheongju Party
I hadn't seen any other ETA's in three weeks, so last weekend was good. I went to Cheongju and saw Annie, Mandy, Henry, Sarah, Jes, Forest, Esther, and my friend Tom. Friday night we learned an important lesson - don't go into restaurants that have no one in them. We did. We got some drinks, and snacks, because you have to buy them too in most bars in Korea. After eating half of the nuts, beans, etc we found maggots crawling in them!
In Korea, 'service' means free. Some ETA's get a lot of service when they go out. I hadn't really experienced it until Friday night. We went to a small tent restaurant and got double the rice wine and food we ordered. Service!
Saturday we walked around and saw Annie's homestay family. She lives in a really small town that doesn't even have the high rise apartments. She gets her own little apartment! Kind of jealous. Sat night we helped with a halloween party. One of Annie's Korean friends is a teacher at an English academy, so we played with 100 elementary school kids and helped them with their English. A fun sat night. I don't get much exposure to the elementary school kids so it was fun to see them going crazy. I'm glad I don't have to teach them though.
