End of Orientation Week

Hey again and what else did we do last week? Before getting picked up on Friday we had a chance to detail some traditional fans at the Gwangju National Museum and also had a chance to take a group picture.

That's the whole gang up there and I'd say 80% were from Canada and others from the States. People from BC, the Peg, Edmonton, and Ontario. Not too many engineers in the gang, but many qualified teachers, philosophy, Laurier Business guy and even a Yuk Yuk's stand up comic!! We had a chance to venture the streets and Ellen went nuts when she saw the shoes for 10 bucks or 10,000 Won. Good thing there a little small for her. He we are in the streets of Gwangju and also stopping in with the gang for some good lunchtime eats. Actually, was pretty good. We had rice served in a Bamboo glass, and had a variety of vegetables, fish and meet dishes to mix into our rice. There were also lettuce leaves which we used to make mini wraps. I did enjoy some mini anchovy types things.

Here we are later in the evening belting out some tunes at a local Karaoke bar. The bar was called German bar and is mostly a foreigner bar, so in no way represents what traditional Karaoke rooms would look like in Korean. I'm sure we'll show you later this year.

I'm sandwiched between Kerry and Norm. Both great guys, but neither of them are in Mokpo, however, visits will be needed. Good part about meeting people from all over the province of Jeollanamdo as we will have an opportunity to visit. Alright...that wraps up the orientation...next is us on our own. No more hand holding and off we go.
