On Sat, Dang and I went to our Korean class. This was the first for us. They started us out with the Korean alphabet, Hangul. It makes a good deal of sense and should be easy to learn. I’m not very impressed with the teacher… not much of a teacher, in my opinion. But, it’s cheap and we are learning.
Afterward, we made a trip to Itaewon with some friends, another Thai-American couple. They seem to be nice people, and dinner with them was a lot of fun. The guy, whose name is Dennis, was an interesting chap… it was nice to talk with an American for a change.
The following day, Dang went to have lunch with some of her Thai friends. She’s made friends with this small group of Thai expats, and has found Korea a bit more friendly because of it.
This past week was spent preparing for the children’s play. Every morning, Mon. thru Fri, we worked on that. The children worked quite hard, as well as did everyone else.
Fri. night, Dang and I treated ourselves to STEAK!!! Yes, I had a steak for the first time in a year. We found ourselves Outback. Maybe it was the fact that I didn’t have a steak in a year, but I’m quite certain that it was one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten. Anyway, that aside, we had a great time, eating what we wanted without worry of cost. We talked while enjoying a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, which was good too. After that, it was ice cream!!! A lot of fun I had with my wife.
Sat. the 13th, I taught a private lesson in the morning, then I went to MC the children’s play. It was a two hour long show, and the children did great! Dang went to our Korean lessons for us… so we wouldn’t fall too far behind.
After the play, I had dinner with all of the teachers (Korean BBQ). It was fun, and, because their Koreans, there was a lot of alcohol. I’m afraid that I had my share, and it ended up making me very happy.
After dinner, a group of us went to karaoke. Dang was home by then, and she joined us. I sang several songs, or at least tried. It was fun. While I was sitting there, I realized that I’m in a foreign country with my wife singing songs with a bunch of people who I never thought I would call friends. But, there we were, singing, being silly, and having fun.
All-in-all, it was a good week. Hope the next is as exciting.
