This weekend was a pretty packed weekend in The Goon!

Friday at work went really well. With my adult class I did a version of 'Call my Bluff' I gave them different definitions of words and they had to guess the right answer. I used words like flibbertigibbet, lollygagging, canoodle and gobsmacked. They really enjoyed it and we had a lot of laughs.


Then with the kids I did games including a version of 'Wheel of Fortune' and the kids loved. It was definitely one of those days where I could definitely say I LOVE TEACHING! Also discovered that bribery and sweets are a total motivator!!

In the evening I tried to get all the new and old teachers together. Not too many newbies turned up but there were about 10 people at my apartment and a couple of new faces I had not met.

Betty was complete tart and was getting love and attention off everyone. I was surprised at how she kept hopping around and wasn't bothered by all the people.


We then headed out to Bar Street met up with some other teachers and then a couple of us headed to noraebang. I LOVE NORAEBANG. I am the woooorst singer but it is just so much funny. Judging by my sore throat the next day, I apparently did a lot of singing/screaming/shouting!



A couple of us went over to Jeonju to watch Jeonju KCC Egis basketball team at Chonbuk University.

It was packed and actually really good fun! I was surprised at how commercialised it was. They would keep stopping the game, get the cheerleaders to come and and do chants about KCC.

Jeonju won though and a good time was had by all!

We then had a really nice Vietnamese meal and found a really nice bar. It was called Art and Travel or Samsara was slightly hippyish and incensey. The whole place was covered in photos of the couple who owned it and places they had travelled and pictures drawn by people. It had good sangria, wine beer and cocktails and boardgames!
