언영힠히캐세요 Chuncheon!

Yesterday was our ETA talent show. It was one of my favorite things we have done so far here as a group. My face hurt from laughing so much during the show. The 70 people I am here with are pretty much incredible in terms of how talented they are. Some of the acts included: singing & guitar playing, Josh jumping over his girlfriend while she was standing up (apparently Asian men can jump), Josh & Cornelius singing their own version of "It's Business Time" from Flight of the Conchords called "It's Lesson Planning Time" (will post video later), jump roping, rapping, slide shows, and videos. Below are a few pictures from the show.

Last night we went out to (and took over) a bar in Chuncheon for one of the OC's birthdays. It was awesome having everyone out at once. It was also the first time the OCs were able to go out and have a good time with us. Its a shame it had to wait until the very end of orientation to happen. Here are some pictures from last night.




This morning we had our Korean language class graduation ceremony. We all had to get dressed up and the head of the Fbright program, Mrs. Shim and her crew came for the ceremony. They gave out some awards to the students who scored the highest and who improved the most throughout the 5 weeks of class. Then each class performed a skit/song/video/slide show in Korean. My class performed a medley of 3 songs (Sweet Home Alabama, Proud Mary, and Sweet Caroline) that we rewrote lyrics to in Korean. Sweet Caroline was about our daily life, Proud Mary was about our class, and Sweet Caroline (or Sweet 선생님) was about how much we love our teachers. I'll post a video later of our performance. I kind of took charge of our performance, so it was cool to see how much everyone else enjoyed it.

Keeran & Dave were very excited to get their diplomas.

Tomorrow I'm off to Seoul! I'm not sure when I'll have internet again since I still don't know anything about my homestay, so it may be a little while until I post again. Wish me luck!
