Anyway, onto better things.
A few weeks me and two companions (Anna + Becky) made our way to the Sunchang Gochujang (Red Pepper Paste) festival. It was quite small and I didn't see much gochujang but what happened there was very amusing and made for a day to remember. Here's a quick rundown:
- Anna got a bit (a BIG bit) of pancake put in her mouth by a lady.
- Anna shook a man's hand in confusion when we think he wanted her to take his photo. We realised this a few hours later. He looked confused.
- I danced with some 'ahjummas':
Two days later, the Jeonbuk TaLK scholars, accompanied by staff from the education office and I, headed for Jeju Island for the 9th Generation Cultural Trip. While there, we went to some theme parks. While you might be thinking 'Alton Towers' or 'Disney Land', it is something entirely different. Instead of being a theme park, they are in fact parks with themes, yet while still fun don't leave you screaming for your life. That's something I'm saving for the bungee jumping tomorrow.
We went to a miniature building theme park:

Also we saw some teeny-tiny horses:
Upon my return, it was time for the school festival. It was fun and I got to see just how talented my kids are, especially when playing any of a great number of instruments. Afterwards, I wandered around looking lost for a bit until it was lunchtime - BUFFET! After this, I headed home for a while (I trod in dog poo on the walk home which is supposedly lucky. I certainly felt lucky.) and went out to meet the school staff for hweshik (staff dinner) which involved food (raw fish yum) and then noraebang (karaoke). I sang two songs, and I think they actually went down pretty well. Some of the teachers have asked me to perform a song with them at a care for the elderly concert next week. I'm not sure what song it is and I'm almost certain it's going to be in Korean, so I guess I'll be spending a good amount of next week singing in Korean alone in my apartment.
Also, sometime in the near future I will get to showcase my volleyball skills again in the finals. That's another thing to practice.
