Party with Hiro Tki's Friends

Tonight, I was invited to a party over at the host family's house. It was fun, and I'm glad that the people were talking to me. They were making an effort to speak in English and to communicate with me. I'm glad that I've made some new friends even though I know only a few of them are out to seek my help to pass the Entrance Exam test for English. I figure that if I help them to pass, that will be good for me because then I'll know exactly what they need to pass and I'll be able to help my students at school in the meantime. It's an education for all. I mean we were eating a lot. I think that's typical for these kinds of partys, I mean I left at 2am and the party was still going. I mean I was called over around 8pm and started to eat and they are still going. I mean it was with kimchi nabe, and then there were a grand variety of meats and other great tasting food. It was too much to eat actually, I didn't even get a chance to try all the different foods either. And I thought that my meeting was going to start at 10am, but it actually starts at 1:30pm, so I've got to some time to sleep.

I was asked to write an article for the YOKE newsletter or a publication about the exchange. We will work on it more tomorrow I'm sure, but I'll have a copy ready for them. I just gotta remember to do it before I leave. But for now, good night.
