And they say Aussies can drink....



I've just spent a night away with my co-teachers and some teachers from another school. Crazy stuff.

And that's just to start

There is a small group of Korean English teachers here who belong to a group called the Toast-Masters Club. They get together each week and wax lyrical in English as a way to improve their language ability.



So on Friday, I went with this crew to a beautiful little sea side village on the west coast of Jeollanamdo. It's a rugged coastline with some beautiful cliffs that have strong strata layers to give beautiful texture and colour.





The coast is beautiful in this area

A bit of sightseeing and it was back to the hotel (Sydney Hotel!!!) for a bit of tucker and some drinks. And then after dinner we had some drinks. And then after drinking, we went to a Nori ban (Kareoke) for some singing and drinks... Needless to say, everyone got a little tipsy. If you can imagine an office party, held in a Kareoke bar, this comes fairly close to my experience.



So next morning was not so crash hot. Made worse by the traditional Korean breakfast of fish (whole) with many side dishes of very spicy foods. Ugh! I'm glad to say I was not the only one who had to run off to the bathroom during that meal.




Beer & Congnac "One Shot"!


Interesting intro to the Korean drinking culture!
