DVD Bangs

Regarding the kinderschool, it isn't so much that nobody else wants to work for her - she does have her maximum required number of teachers at her hagwon - but it's that she realised that she could introduce English teaching into her Korean school too, and now that she has two young willing girls to help her, she's jumping on the English learning bandwagon!

It's possible that if we do work at the kindergarten then we won't start work until late January since the school takes three weeks off for Christmas. 3 weeks! They also take 3 weeks off in the summer, and since we're being given a say in the running of the new English department we've requested shorter hours (phrased as "more preparation time"), so I think we're hoping that it does go ahead since this is probably the best deal we'll get at such short notice!

Regardless of the perks, and despite the fact that we told her we're definitely on board, we've not actually signed a contract yet and there's no real guarantee that the proposal will go ahead. So we're still taking interviews from other schools and we have several recruiters on the job for us.

In other news, we've been frequenting DVD Bangs over the last two nights - small rooms equipped with projectors, easy-clean beds, tissues and bins. Oops, I didn't sell that well, did I? ^^

What I meant was that we've been going to DVD Bangs - private rooms where you rent a film and watch it at your own leisure on your own small cinema. I guess the aforementioned provisions are due to the fact that many Korean people live with their parents until they marry, so these places have become a popular place for couples to take dates -- which made Alex's friend very uncomfortable when we suggested the four of us go and watch a movie together.

Regardless of the dodgy nature of the venue, Lauren and I really like them - they're cosy, you get good sound and picture quality, and you are provided with an endless supply of free drinks. You don't need to worry about popcorn being thrown at you or people telling you to "Ssshh!" when you make a comment about the lead actress. The perfect place for a quiet night in -- as long as you keep your mind off who was in there last.
