Exploring Cheonan

So on our first weekend, we decided to explore the city a bit, although we are in the hotel still, the area is fairly close to the school. One thing that really stands out so far is the crazy drivers and the guys on scooters that don't pay attention to the lights. Running a red light is a common occurrence! The people are very friendly, more so than expected. The neighbourhood is supposed to be really safe and very little crime. We have had a couple of experiences with korean food, its really interesting, they really love having tons of side dishes. Our first night we went out for dinner and the beef was cooked right in the middle of the table in front of us, the meat was called galbi.

Last night the whole staff was taken out for dinner, it was a Farewell/Welcome party for those who are new and those who are leaving. It was fun, all the newbies had to introduce themselves and sing a song, Robin and I were supposed to sing "There was a great big moose" together, but we found out we couldn't sing it as a duo, so she stole the song and I ended up doing twinkle twinkle little star in a jazzy poetic way. both performances were spectacular, as I'm sure you can imagine. Afterwords we went to a nori-bang and had our own karaoke room. It was a lot of fun, the staff here are great.

Here's a couple of photos from our adventure so far!
