I need some quiet time

Well, things are busy here in my universe. Wendsday night Mr. Lee, the owner of our school, took the whole school to Shabu Shabu. Shabu Shabu is a kind of Japanese food (with a Korean twist) - there is a spicy soup with mushrooms and green onions that is cooked at the table, and then several kinds of very thinly sliced raw meat is put in, and you then eat it. After the meat they brought seafood, then there was noodles and then rice was added -- you finish each course first, and by the end I was decidedly uncomfortably full. During this time we drank soju and beer. I didn't want to drink too much because I had a class with the bouncy girls on Thursday.

After Shabu Shabu we went to a beer hof. I decided I really like Mr. Lee. He is politically liberal and actually very kind. Since I am not married he offered to set me up on several blind dates with his friends who also are not married. I declined but I thought the offer was nice.

Thursday Cindy had a house warming party. She has a new apartment and the school minus Mr. Lee all went to her place. We had bulgogi (the beef with soy and onions and vegetables) and chicken and wine and Kahlua. This morning I woke up a bit late.

Today I didn't do so well on my word test for my Korean teacher. She said I will have to get used to drinking because here it is a kind of work. She was basically understanding. She also found a good place to get a facial and we are going next week. I really love my Korean class, and she is a very good teacher. She is also a little strict, so she keeps me from getting very distracted.
And so it goes
