Norebang

Not much happened this week. But I did join Kendo club (the sword martial art) and so I went out to a "norebang" (karaoke room) with them after practice. Here, you are set up in your own room with food and drinks for a few hours and everyone takes turns singing and dancing. They have English songs too, but usually they're much older. The following pictures were taken at the norebang with some members of Kendo club.

So, here is my language exchange partner, he's also part of Kendo club. His name is Shin Kyung Chul. We meet once a week to practice Korean and English over dinner.

And me, in a stolen hat and glasses.
Kyung Chul again (right) with another guy.


Me and a graduate of Yonsei who still comes to practice sometimes. He apparently teaches middle school so he would sing songs like "row row row your boat" to show off his English skills.
And finally, this week I went on a sogeyting, or blind date set up by my language partner with this guy Ha Kisang. We got along well and so I've seen him everyday this week He's 23, a mechanical engineering major, and fluent in English because he worked with the US army for his mandatory army time. He's helping me out alot with my Korean.
