About a week ago, Aaron, Meagan and I were talking about how we should find a way to get all the Yeongdo English teachers together for dinner... We knew there were other foreigners on the island, but just didn't know who! So, on Monday, I sent out a post on the Facebook "English Teacher's in Korea" page inviting anyone who lived on Yeongdo to dinner at the Samgyupsal place under my apartment! I wasn't all that worried if no one showed bu the 3 of us, but we were all hoping at least a couple people would turn out!
Fortunately, we had 9 people come, 6 of which I had never met, or even seen on the island!
We all had such a great time getting to know each other and sharing stories about our lives back home (America, Canada, and Puerto Rico) and in Korea! We're planning to get together again for grilled clams in some BBQ tents on one of the beaches on the island! Cheers to living on Yeong-do!
