Big Bacon and Alien Karaoke

Last night I went out to eat with all the teachers at my school. I'm hoping to keep that kind of thing going since the previous Canadian teachers didn't even try to talk to the Korean teachers. Anyway...we had these huge strips of pork which was basically thick bacon and all the traditional Korean side dishes. It was pretty good. The Korean teachers all weigh about 115 lbs, but they can pack the food away like crazy. I think we all got along pretty well. Once the Korean teachers started drinking soju, I think it got a little more friendly too.
When we finished our big bacon and soju, the Canadian couple wanted to go home. I was still up for some fun, so the Korean teachers took me to a norae bang, which is like a karaoke room for a small group. I was surprised they had such a good selection of songs in English. I remember singing "Gettin Jiggy Wit It" and half of "Stuck" when Lauren didn't know the words. Overall, I'd say it was a pretty successful bonding night. I hope we will all get to hang out again, and maybe they will meet my crazy friends.
