South Coast Trip

I had two trips this winter to Korea's south coast, both to the same general area. One was an EPIK cultural trip, the other was a Yeongcheon Girls' teachers' trip. I was skeptical of visiting the area in the winter, but although people told me it was much more beautiful in the spring/summer, it was still actually quite nice. Even though the EPIK trip was called a "cultural" trip, it was pretty much just scenery with little to no explanation. Oh well.

The weather was also a lot warmer in the south, so it was a bit of a relief to get to hang out there for a bit. As usual, the teachers' trip consisted of most of the teachers getting drunk on the bus and singing karaoke (also on the bus, as well as in a Norebang). For the occasion I had prepared a Korean song to sing (너를위해 by 임재범). It went over very well, and the teachers who heard it were impressed with my dedication to Korean culture. Sadly, there was no encore. I'm not much for singing in public.
