Carne Station: Beer and Wine

Teaching on Saturdays is going to be the end of me.

For the month of January, I have to teach a class at 9:30 am on Saturdays. It's a conversation class. For middle schoolers. In a foreign language. On a Saturday morning...yeah, it's silent for the most part for at least the first hour. Eleven kids just staring at me as I am doing a song and dance routine, trying to get them to talk. Ugh.

After that, I have to teach my regular Saturday afternoon class. If you recall, I have freaking 24 hours of work (27 with the intensive) spread over freaking 6 days. So at the end of the day on Saturday, I've had the trauma of working 6 days and on that particular day, having to deal with sullen pre-teens who resent being sent to English class on Saturdays. The result?

A lot of drinking on Saturday nights.

This past Saturday, we headed over to Carne Station. They're tagline is "Beef and Wine." Ooh, good times. It's all you can eat AND drink. Beer, wine, hard alcohol, soju as far as the eye could see. We grilled seafood and ate smoked salmon by the plateful. My only complaint was that there was almost too much pressure to chug the alcohol down to get our money's worth. It must be said, though, that it was weird to see a whole bunch of drunk foreigners in the same place as a bunch of Korean families. Wasted Canadians and small Korean children, together at last.

PS I am trying to find out how the heck I upload pictures so I can include them in these posts. As soon as I do, it's going to be a picture smorgasboard because I have been clicking away on my cute new fuscia camera.
