3rd grade teachers

At the school im considered part of the 3rd grade teachers (though i dont even teach 3rd grade). Every day we meet for 10 min after first period, they talk business and i eat grapes, melon apples or whatever fruit they have that day. Friday night they brought me out for a welcome party to a nice duck restaurant in Cheonma, and of coarse we had grilled duck. It was typical of my experience dining here in Korea, though this time it was a party for me. Anyway Koreans go all out when they dine out, and any place that serves grilled meat will have the grills at the table, this place had charcoal grills. So they bring out the food, a big pile of meat, and a ton of side dishes, various kimchis and lettuce. You grill the meat, then everyone just goes at the food, till its gone, then they bring out more, then when that's gone we get noodles (sometimes rice) then we're stuffed and we drink coffee. Its always delicious, its always satisfying. And they never split the bill, but im not sure who's supposed to pay.

And the 3rd grade teachers are also great. I think there are 10 "3rd grade" teachers. Four of them are older women (who are like adoptive mothers who i cant understand), three younger ladies, Sujin who is the other Korean English teacher, and two guys and me. Everyone is very nice and helpful, and they will all attempt to talk to me in English, or test my rudimentary Korean skills (like making me read aloud wrappers and things with Korean writing). They have taken me in and seem to like having me there.
