Communes Trivia

Last night, Lucas and I went to a bar that we had never gone beofre. We went to Communes, and hurrah, the music didn't suck! It was trivia night, and we got a team together and played the game. It was a lot of fun, until we realized that the winning team was a team of 8. You were only supposed to have 4-5 on a team. We would have had a team of 8, but they told us we had to break up. Apparently, this large team wins everytime, and they get away with the size because they are friends with the people running it. So people were getting a little miffed. Whatever, it was fun nonetheless for me.

On Wednesday, I got together with the guys from work to work on making questions for the new curriculum. For every article that we do, we have to write a series of questions. If we did this on our own, that would be 200+ questions, and countless hours of work.

Lucas and I have been trying to plan our Seoul vacation. We booked a hotel over the Internet in Insadong. Insadong is the cultural centre in Seoul where there are palaces, marketplaces, and history galore. I'm very excited. We are going to be packing a lot into two days I think. I'm so excited! And we're taking the KTX there which goes super fast.

Last night, a Korean guy sat down to talk with me as Lucas was over talking with some friends. He wrote his name in Korean, and I read it, and he was all impressed. See that? I can impress the Koreans. Though it's not hard. They praise you on your chopstick skills. One lady said I was relly beautiful, especially in my Columbia jacket (I was in the Columbia store). Last week, I was walking down the street by myself, and this Korean guy was like "excuse me, could I walk with you wherever you are going? I'm learning English and would like to practice." I was literally at the last stop on my walk, but becuase I'm so kind, I walked an extra three blocks in the completely wrong direction. This guy had awesome English, and he had learned on his own, becuase he just liked the language. It was quite impressive.

Luc is yelling at his computer. He's watching hockey, and the announcer apparently knows none of the Canucks names, and he doesn't know his hockey draft picks, etc. He yells at his computer a lot. That's how I know he's watching hockey. Do not disturb him during the game, or he will yell at you. Heads Up.
