Only in Korea: Teacher's Trips

Only in Korea can you:

--Be required to go on a teacher's bonding hiking trip.
--Be given a bag full of snacks as soon as you get on the bus for this said trip.
--Eat pajeon and drink makgeolli (rice wine) in the middle of  hiking.
--Watch your coworkers get drunk in the middle of the afternoon...on a school trip.
--Be encouraged to drink excessively by these same coworkers.
--Eat a dinner consisting of all types of raw fish. And of course, more alcohol.
--Accidentally eat live octopus
--Drink makgeolli, soju, beer, and wine within a few hours.
--Go to a coffee shop with a group of teachers after dinner and order whatever you want, on the school's tab.


Who said field trips should only be for students?  Korea's on to something with this whole concept of field trips for the teachers.  Teacher's trips days are always long, but interesting.  Especially since I can't help imagine what would happen if we had these trips back in America.  School sponsored drinking trips for teachers?  Yeah, I don't think so.
