Pub Quiz, Book Club, and Coffee Night - oh my!

Last night I went out for the Pub Quiz, it is done every Tuesday night at a local pub. Its just a little gathering of the foreigners, the winners from the previous week make up the questions for the current week's quiz. The players pay 2,000 won each and pair up to answer the questions. Winners get the pot of money and get to make up questions. Good fun! Great getting to know some of the native English speakers here in Anseong. I was also told that they are forming a book club! The book that they have all begun reading in Don Quixote. Also, every Thursday the girls of the group have started meeting for coffee. Either at someone's home or at one of the many coffee shops Anseong has to offer. 

Yesterday, I made it out for another bitter cold run.  The forecast is looking grim for the next week. Temps still not reaching above 0, I am looking forward to spring. I might scope out some of the other gym's in town to see if they have a steam room. I need that to keep warm! Plus a treadmill wouldn't be so bad on the very cold days.

Term of the day = Desk-warming - the term used to describe a public school teachers job in the winter time in South Korea. Since students are on vacation and there is just a few camps run in January, most of Dec - March are used to warm the desks. :)  (this is for the public schools only, in private schools the teachers are still working/teaching 8+ hours per day)
