Norae Bong

Okay, so yesterday's post referenced eating meat for dinner that is really good? Well it is called galbi and they also had pork, I had that for dinner tonight. It isn't as good as the beef but still good. Matt's (another English teacher, from Canada) parents were visiting so we all went out for a big dinner. We eat out a lot here, it is cheaper and better than the food I could make in my hotel room. The video is us in a place called a Norae Bong. In the most basic sense it is Karoke. More detail, you get a room for you and all your friends. You get to pick all the music and you don't have to wait for a ton of other people to sing songs you hate...The best part is that because the other teachers and I are in a foreign country we get to sing a lot of English songs and don't have to hear a bunch of Korea songs we don't like. Not that I don't like Korea music, it is just that when I sing Karoke I like to hear songs I know and sing songs that I can read. You can drink just like in a bar but you are only making a fool of yourself in front of your nearest and dearest. It is a ton of fun. Also, quick fact: You can drink outside here. It is nice because if you order an alcoholic drink and its in a to-go cup you can take it with you while you walk to the bar. Awesome huh?
