Later in the evening we did a karaoke contest. The Korean students have so much natural talent in so many different areas. They are such beautiful children. I ended up having to sing the song you found me, and then dance to a techno version of canon in D.
The kids get insane after just a little while. I have found that I’ve begun to speak slower, even to my fellow teachers, and whether or not that is a good thing is yet to be determined. Tonight we went up to a restaurant in the mountains and had dongdongju, which is a traditional Korean drink.
The president of the highschool pulled up in a promenade of vehicles, and it felt as if we were being escorted by the mafia. I am still at awe at how respected we are here as opposed to American schools. Also, the fact that alcohol is such a taboo in Christen circles is off. It was a sweet tasting drink, I could see myself drinking this again. 
Our ride up the mountain was spent in a Jaguar. I felt like an underground, Mafia-esq teacher. Our teams comradory is burgeoning by the day, and I truly hope that we remain welded together, even through hardships. This was the easiest day of teaching yet, I am falling in love with my students , and the personalities that accompany their faces. I hope that next year I will have another opportunity to possibly serve them again, and/or their institution. My sleeping quarters are adequate, but slightly uncomfortable, however, I am blessed to even be sleeping on a bed. I am falling in love with Korea. With much love your humble writer,
David
