Weekly teacher gatherings in Yeonggwang

Getting together with other English teachers is very important to me. There isn't a lot of English spoken by the staff at either of my schools, so it helps to be able to have a few good conversations during the week. On a good night we'll get seven western teachers and perhaps 1-2 Korean friends. On slower nights it may only be three of us, but it's a pretty faithful group.

We are currently on a schedule where we gather on Tuesdays and Fridays. The location rotates for our Tuesday dinners, but we typically meet up at 7 PM. After dinner we usually head to Storm for a few beers. We usually go to Pizza Club on Friday's and then to a bar afterwards for trivia. Friday gatherings start at 7:30 PM for dinner and we play 25-question trivia at 9 PM.

More on the Friday games. The trivia game covers a whole range of questions. The winner from the previous week makes the questions so the topics vary widely. We also have (or have had) teachers from Canada, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States so that can influence the questions.
