Yeah that's right I spent my saturday judging my schools first ever debate competition. In all honesty it was a lot of fun. The competing kids were the highest level kids that Chungdahm has. We call them our Masters. They are some of the most brilliant kids I have ever seen. They were truly impressive during their debates. The 2 topics assigned; were should the government regulate video game use, which is a huge addiction and social problem here. The other, was should Korea go to war. The kids were not only well spoken, but argued extremely well on their given side. After that, was dinner with the head honchos of my job; My Faculty Manger travis, and The head of the Branch Jefferson. They treated us to a ton of pizza, and then it was off to my place where I mentally prepared myself for Suzy's favorite club; Black Music club aka MC. (yes that is the actual name) lol. The club is always a great time, I went with my close friends Chris "the train wreck" Amoss, "Sassy" Suzy, my friend samantha, and Suzy's friend Michelle. Later on, Julie, Chau and her friends from home met up with us for one hell of a crazy time. Needless to say it was a great fun. I danced for 6 hours off and on, and highlights of the night were 1st, Michelle unbuttoning the top button of a Korean girl's shirt, and watching the korean girl freak out. 2nd, Samantha's boob coming out while being lifted into the air by 2 metro sexual gay men. Lastly one of those same metro sexual gay men literally grinding on me on the dance floor. One of my more awkward experiences here, but funny none-the-less. Sunday, myself, Chris, Suzy, Julie, and Michelle took a trip to Itaewon, reenacting Night of the Living Dead due to our hangovers. Itaewon is an awesome place with tons of American stores, and places to eat. We went to American Restaurant, which is a diner style place, but it's in Korea so it is way better. After some burgers and fries we called it a day. It was a relaxing end to a crazy weekend.
I will conclude this by saying my experience in Korea is one for the history books. I love my time here, and though I miss home, my friends, and a special vampire that is dear to me (inside joke), it saddens me to think that this will end one day, and I will have to return to reality. My students have been awesome, my friends here are great, and the culture never ceases to amaze me. This is my last week of the term, so sorry for the sappiness. I am going to miss my first classes. Pictures of them are soon to come.
