Fall seems to be the holiday season in Korea. So Thursday we had a day off. It was very hard to go back to work on Friday when you felt like it was already the weekend. There's another holiday coming up on Wednesday but then there are no more holidays till Christmas.
So, with the holiday next week, I have a really easy work week. My supervisor told me that I have to go with her to Seoul next Thursday-Saturday for a teaching conference. It's basically a training seminar for the particular ESL program our school uses. Although I have to be at the conference during the normal work day, I get evenings free. So I basically have a free trip to Seoul! I'm pretty excited about it. And it also works out well because it turns out that Alan has a business trip those days as well! Thursday and Friday, his lab group is going to a polymers conference. So we're both going to go travel a bit and have a good time. I'm going to attempt to find some dancing. :D
Friday, I was a little irritated with my school. You know that medical exam I had to do for my ARC? They made me re-do it. Why? Because the Department of Education wants the paperwork and they can't find the papers I gave them. So I had to pay $50 for a medical exam that I had already taken and passed. I'm not overly thrilled about it.


We spent that evening at the Ulsan World Music Festival. They had various food booths representing different countries and had bands from all over the world. We saw an electro/flamenco fusion band that was pretty cool. Although I didn't necessarily prefer the singer's style, they had a flamenco dancer that did an absolutely beautiful job on stage.

The dancers wanted everyone to dance. |
They had a couple salsa performances that evening as well. They ended up being the same dancers that we saw perform at Bar Latino in Busan.
Here's to another short work week!
What about Lizard, Spock?
