A weekend of goodbyes...

This time of the year is always the saddest time for English teachers in Korea. This is the point of the year when the most teachers come and go from Korea, due to the starting of the new school year starting March.

Last night was a giant going away party for 4 of the girls from my old SLP. It was great to see all these people that I never have time to meet up with nowadays... We met at Wolfhounds for a few hours, and nearly everyone from my old school showed up, including a bunch of the Korean teachers and my old boss. After that we went to the Loft... which is the most dangerous place in Itaewon because they have free entrance and free drinks for women... Not sure how this place stays in business.... And after that we headed over to Dillenger's, a decent place slightly removed from the bustle of the main bar area of Itaewon. Finally, the party broke up while heading back to our neighborhood to look for a norebang... but all we could find was girlie norebangs and we realized again just how sketchy my neighborhood really is...

Tonight I'm meeting my current coworkers for some Greek food in Itaewon. It should be a good time, though if the party breaks up, my Saturday Korean class is having an end of the semester party tonight too, so I shouldn't be without options..

This being a long weekend, though, I need something to do on Sunday and Monday. If anyone has any ideas of exciting things to do, please let me know!

  1. Aha, well, a norebang is generally a place where you can get a private room with friends and sing karaoke, but in my neighborhood, the only ones open at 2 in the morning, are apparetnly a different kind of norebang where women will sing for you for a very high fee... they might even do some other things for you, if you're nice enough...
