It's pronounced "no-ray bong"

Finally got out to go singing last night, and it was awesome. Went with a few people from work, including the other new teacher and one of the Korean staff. He showed us to this place that had a really nice set-up. It was pretty pricey as far as Korea is concerned at $25/hour for the room. Fortunately there were five of us, so it worked out to be about $5 a pop. That is, until the one guy who didn't have money decided he needed some beer. He walks out and comes back in a minute later with 5 beers without really asking the rest of us. I mean, I thought it was an alirght idea, except I ended up having to drink most of it since they guy split 20 minutes after he'd ordered. It ended up tacking another $7 on top of the bill for each of us. Poor form, sir.

The person I was most happy to hang out with was Greg, an older man who had been in korea for a while and loved to share. He could honestly answer the questions I had without any of the BS filter some of the Korean teachers used. All in all, it was a good night.
