My Roommate the Rock Star

Stef's band Les Moustaches had a show a couple weeks ago. It was freakin' awesome! I've been hearing about the band forever so it was really great to finally hear them perform. Their show was at a small club in Hongdae called Free Bird and they were hours late to perform, so a lot of people had left by then. That was a bummer but there was still a pretty good crowd. Stef sounded great and the band in general were fantastic for a first gig.



Other news:
I'm going to start volunteering with Sharing House. I'm super excited about it, as I will get to stretch my history muscles and help write educational packets. The whole history of the sex slaves in WWII is pretty much summed in one sentence in both Korean and Japanese history books...not cool. The women are getting pretty up there and are dying at a more frequent pace. It's crucial that their story isn't forgotten and I'm incredibly honored that I'll get to play a role in making sure that doesn't happen.

I'm going to be helping my friend Steve out by "teaching" a conversation class for his school's English Club. It'll be my first time interacting with middle schoolers since leaving my old job, so I'm a little nervous. At the same time, I'm stoked to have interactions with kids that won't involve me being licked or bitten. A gaggle of us are also going to go on a field trip with the English Club. They're going to take us around one of the palaces here and play tour guide for us.
