December has come and we all know what that means - time to post a few videos! That's what December means to me, anyway. This first little clip has a big bang. This is the B-Boy group, whom we had never heard of but are now crazy about. (to the extent that I will post this on my blog.) Our boss notified us that we had to attend a mandatory foreign language teacher seminar in Seoul last weekend. 9 am Saturday morning rolled around, and we stumbled up the stairs from the subway station and followed the "hey, you American idiots, walk this way" signs to a nice auditorium somewhere near Yeouido. We weren't thrilled about being there, but it was our curiosity that kept us somewhat alert. We were all sitting slumped in our seats until the cheerful Korean MC announced in English that we were about to watch a dance show of sorts by the B-Boy group. My ears perked up, my eyes focused from the red velvet seat in front of me to the brightly lit stage. A handful of Korean dudes were bouncing around the stage and swinging their arms in hiphop style. The music started to thump, and then the formerly sleepy foreigners were in for an incredible display of Korean breakdancing. I particularly liked the guy with the long, flowing hair. He seemed to incarnate an anime character... see for yourself!
Next... though the quality of the video is less than professional, listen carefully to the conversation the students are having with Dan. Really funny... basically the students are helping Brian come up with ways to threaten the lives of all of Dan's family (including me, 'his Julie'). This video shows the escalation of a three-minute session. It started with, "My mother will kill your mother"... "My grandfather will kill your mother" ... "My dog will kill your cat"... to chickens and octopi. Watch it to believe me.
Our friend and former colleague, Kate, got married a couple of weeks ago. As a surprise for her brand new husband, she broke out into song right on stage in front of all the guests. It was priceless, really. I couldn't resist posting it.

It is reassuring to see that other people are teaching bizarre-o English conversation lessons. I love it! And the Christmas pics are beautiful-- so festive.
PS- those breakdancers were totally bad-ass, hahaha.
