This past Monday I was invited (last minute of course) to go to dinner with my 2 co-teachers, my one co-teachers boyfriend, the male PE teacher, and 3 other female teachers, all of whom I eat lunch with everyday. We ended up meeting a raw fish restaurant near my school. The dinner was mostly delicious. I tried a lot of weird looking raw seafood, half of which I don't know what it was. I even voluntarily ate the live octopus again! The company was a lot of fun; the PE teacher is especially hilarious. He's a younger guy and we always have really funny broken English conversations over lunch. I think he enjoys practicing his English and hitting on me at the same time. At one point during dinner he serenaded me with "You Are So Beautiful". I guess in the states it would border on sexual harassment, but I think its really funny and I'm 99% sure he's just doing it to be silly. Towards the end of dinner & drinks I heard the word "noraebang" being tossed around. I started to get worried because the only times I've been to noraebang (karaoke) was at the end of a long night at many different bars, and it was only 7pm and none of us had had a lot to drink. To make a long story short, everyone, with the exception of my co-teacher, went to noraebang together for a couple hours. It ended up being a lot of fun and a great bonding experience for all of us. I sang some old school Britney Spears, NSYNC and "Twist and Shout" (a crowd favorite) and the other teachers sang a bunch of k-pop. My usually annoying co-teacher was the best noraebang-er out of everyone. Her and her boyfriend sang duets the entire time and even had dance moves to all of the songs. PE teacher had an amazing voice as well and he would jump up on the couches and dance up on the older Korean teachers whenever he sang. At the end of the night I had a really funny conversation (in broken English of course) with the PE teacher. It went something like this.
PE teacher: The past 2 weeks I just stay at home and drink alone.
Me: Why would you do that?
PE teacher: Because my heart is broken. (fake crying)
Me: Awww. What happened?
PE teacher: One-way love. I love a girl but she does not like me.
Me: Awww so sad. What is her name?
PE teacher: (pause) Her name......is Cassidy.
He was only joking of course, and all of us died when he said this. Fun night.
