Either you Guys Really Love Hongdae, or We're Doing Pretty Well!

Brant, So Young, and I went to Hongdae this weekend after enjoying some SamGyupSal and a bit of soju.  We were joking about how soon it would be before we spotted one of our teachers in the area as it seems to happen every time we go.

 

Well, we hadn't been out of the cab for 30 seconds before we made our first spot! We met one of our teachers that we placed back in 2007 and he was hanging out with one of our teachers that just arrived a couple of months ago!  I have no idea how they met, but that was neat!  I have to admit I didn't recognize Megan at first, but she recognized Brant's name and we all figured it out after that.

 

So, then, after a drink at Rocky Mountain Tavern, we headed down to Jane's Groove where we discovered 4 more of our teachers enjoying the Groove!  Jean and Carrie with their group and Paul and Joey with another group.  Then, as we were about to grab a taxi toward the end of the night, we saw Becky, someone who applied with us but ended up getting a position elsewhere, but who has become really close with us and joins in a lot of our events.

 

I got to thinking about how many people might actually be around that we don't recognize because all we have to go on is one or two pictures.  It is quite possible that there were many more people that we should know. So, if you recognize us, be sure to come and say Hi!  I must admit that I'm proud of this little company we've built and nothing makes me happier than being able to randomly run into people we've helped get to Korea.  See you again on another weekend!
