Parent Teacher Meeting!?

Um, so apparently Nate and I have to be at the DYB main branch in Daechi tomorrow morning by 9:30am for a "parent teacher meeting" that is supposed to last until 1pm. This doesn't sound like too big of a deal except for a few things. . .

First of all, neither of us have no idea what is going on or what we are expected to do. There's no way that we'd be able to address any parent individually as we are not familiar with any of our student's Korean names and there's a good chance that the parents speak very little English. Yes, we have asked what's going on, and no, we have not received any real information other than that we are expected to wear a suit. . .which neither of us have here in Korea.

So, I guess will just show up, dressed the nicest we can, and wing it from there. We plan on meeting at 8:00am tomorrow to take the hour plus subway ride to Daechi, despite the fact that we were given taxi fare as Joseph suggested it might take up to two hours in a cab during morning rush hour! Then, to make the day more exciting, we are expected to get back up to Junggye and start teaching again, for the first time in three weeks, as our wonderful break period has finally drawn to a close.

Tomorrow should be interesting to say the least. Oh, and as for the talent show on Saturday, apparently we're playing a Britney Spears Christmas song. . .which somehow was chosen over Nate and my Bob Marley/Beatles/Counting Crows medley that we so intricately drew up. . .Oh well, you don't get the chance to play acoustic Britney for your company's CEO every day now do ya?! Might as well make the most of it. . .at least there'll be steak!
