The foreign crowd in Cheonan

Week one went by like a breeze-a windy but gentle breeze. Along the way came some new friends, Korean and foreigners alike. Just tonight I played with the nice and drunken foreign crowd. It started out in the classic mistakefull Newbie in Korea fashion when Heather, my co-worker, and I took shared a cab to yongsundong, when in reality we wanted to go to yaensandong. Two different neighborhoods, one very similar sound, especially when uttered in that accent! Nothing another 5000 won couldn't handle. Finally at the WA-bar we were intermixed with a dozen other foreign teachers, and later another dozen more. The whole foreign community within arms reach. And the vibe? Pretty good I'd say. I met a handful of people I would definitely want to see again, and the everyone else was friendly for sure. And of course, Mr. Lee, the bar owner, treated us like kings-constantly looking after us, bringing us more chairs, snacks, and service. Thanks Mr. Lee!
