School Christmas Party

So my place of employment is no different from any other in that we had an end of year holiday party. There was a ridiculous amount of food: bulgogi (which is kind of like a grilled beef stew of sorts), salad-y stuff, korean sweet potato noodles (yum-ee!), soups, and lots of fresh fruit. And the obligitory Korean celebration cake, which is a cake decorated to the nines purchased from a bakery. Oh, and lots of alcohol because that's what Koreans do best: drink when they celebrate. Here are some photos from the evening. Some pre-alcohol consumption, some post-alcohol consumption, but I think they photos speak for themselves.....

The first pic is of Suzy (one of my Korean partner teachers), myself, and Gilles (who I've mentioned before. The second pic is of me, Grace (one of the secretaries and a TOTAL sweetie. Seriously, I LOVE her!), and Hannah (another partner teacher). The third pic is of Sarah, a teacher who arrived a month ago from Missouri. She's fantastic. Silly, sarcastic, and fun. Sounds like me, right??? The fourth pic is of Jeffrey, the teacher who arrived in October when Geoff's contract was up. The last pic is of me and one of my most favorite people at work. Her name is Jina, and she is my partner teacher for my kindy classes. So she's the one that I bitch to, cry to, laugh with, and hug when days are good and when days are bad. She is an ANGEL.
