Ski and Sing

Last weekend I went to Kangwon-do with my entire branch to ski for the weekend. I hadn't skied since 8th grade in the ski club Trolls, in which case I "taught myself." A more appropriate way to put it would be that I threw a pair of skis on and flew straight down the mountain. Oh right, and Wilmot, the place we went every weekend for ski club, was no mountain. I actually think it was a landfill with manufactured snow on top of it. I mostly did it for social purposes. Needless to say, I was a bit intimidated by some of my coworkers who were practically expert skiers. My boss walked me through the first run just to ensure I didn't kill myself. He was extremely helpful and I felt comfortable within about 5-10 minutes to go off on my own.






The last picture is actually from the top of the mountain, which took about 45 minutes to get to. I am so hardcore.

Later, we went back to our condo and rested a bit before dinner. Koreans tend to encourage separating sexes in social situations, so at dinner, myself and the 4 Korean girls sat at one table. They taught me some new drinking games that I had not learned yet. I decided it would be a good idea to teach them how to play flip-cup. We slowly recruited the boys over, and in the end, had the entire staff playing an intense game of flippy cup. My coworker, Kyle and I, are the only two fresh out of college so we totally thought we had this game in the bag. Well our cockiness got the best of us, and our team ended up having to pay for the Noraebong later as penalty for losing.

The Noraebong was right inside our hotel. I sang" Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Don't Stop Believing." I am incredibly predictable. The last time I went, I sang these songs as well. I took a video of my boss singing some sort of love song:



I'm not sure if this is only funny to me because I know my boss, or if it is just universally good. Nevertheless it sums up a lot of my night.
