So I went to an English Club held at a cafe for the first time. Been meaning to for quite awhile. I am glad I went. There were people there from Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Poland, Mexico, and 8 from the USA. Over 30 were there altogether. Mostly Koreans. However the purpose is to practice learning and speaking English. 3 of the Americans were from Omaha, Nebraska which I found pretty nifty since I graduated from a college in the next city over.
Didn't stay the whole time. It goes officially from 7:30 to 9:30 with a ten minute break in the middle. I opted out during breaktime since getting back to campus gets very interesting the later at night it becomes. Had jasmine tea there which was a nice change from the lattes I had enjoyed at Starbucks early. Can't tell you how hyper I am now. If you know what "Korean Happy Feet" are, then I assure you I am a native at it at the moment.
Will plan on spending every Friday there that I can from here on out. One of the older Americans who plays the guitar and sings shows up around 5-5:30pm to enjoy his music. I plan to get there around the same time so I can listen. He is really good despite his modest assurances that he is not. My 3rd grade middle school student, who is trying to get into a high school in Japan that focuses on graphics and anime, is the one who introduced me to this place. I know one of the members as she is an elementary teacher in my little town of Namsan. Quite cool.
