Waygoogin Dinner

An important part of experiencing a new country is the people you meet along the way. A short time ago, we decided to organize a dinner for all the people sent to Daegu by our recruiter, Dan Henrickson. Dan even offered to pay for this first meeting of his English teachers!!! We sent out emails, counted the RSVPs, picked a yummy restaurant and got a Korean friend to call and reserve a table for 14 for us. On Sunday, we headed out to meet everyone for dinner. We had a great time. Lots of laughter and good food. The restaurant even organized for an English speaker to work for them that night because we had warned them that there were 14 way-goog-ins (foreigners) coming. The dinner for 14 cost 99000 won, which is about $90 Canadian. Can you believe that!?? All of us waygoogins agreed that this should surely be a monthly event. We look forward to January's dinner!

Looks like a lot of fun! Having someone who speaks English wait on you must have made it much less complicated, too, especially with so many of you.
