Music Monday

I don't know what's come over me, but I've been going through a serious K-pop phase. I can't get enough. This first song is a song I heard on the noraebang bus on Teacher's Day. It's incredibly catchy, makes me want to dance, and there is hip thrusting, so much hip thrusting. I've had this song on repeat for the past two weeks. There's another version of the video, a "dance version" with even more hip thrusting.

This next video is from the Wonder Girls. I can't say I love this song or this group, but I felt they are worth sharing. The Wonder Girls are Korea's first real K-pop group, or at least the first has ever made it internationally. They toured with the Jonas Brothers a couple years ago (Woo!) and they were the first South Korean group that made it on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Andrew's Going Away Party

Andrew left. As his replacement he was a big help to me, showing me where things are, introducing me to people, and he is a fellow Bulldog alumni, so it was nice to have someone from home around. His going away party was awesome. Definitely one of my favorite nights in Inje. Didn't go to sleep until past 6 AM.

Since a picture is worth 1,000 words, instead of babbling on like I usually do, I will use some photos of the night to break down his  farewell festivities.

At the one and only Jjokki Jjokki

Speech time

Norebang time!

So happy

I've compiled a list of things I guarantee you will miss about Korea:

• Kimbap Cheonguk. More specifically Chamchi jjigae (nomnomnom)
• "Teacher, why?"
• Korean socks
• Jjokki Jjokki
• Luigi's voice and Harry crying
• K Pop
• the phlegm of Korean men and the sound they make when clearing it out
• the luscious Inje mountains
• Kawi bawi bo!

Good bye Andrew Teacher! Miss you and I hope you're adjusting well back in 'Merica!
