Last week was “Festival Week” on campus.  It wasn’t as loud and rambunctious as on other campuses in Korea because my university has a no alcohol and smoking policy.  There weren’t a lot of people on campus for the afternoon festivities, and I felt a little bad for the students.  I tried to spend some money were I could, to help the student groups raise funds.

The foreign teachers also had our own booth, with our homemade food.  (I made carrot cake.)  It was all kind of thrown together quickly, but we did pretty well.  All the money raised is going to help the cyclone survivors in Myanmar.  Vegemite was the least popular food, which wasn’t a surprise.  One teacher tricked some students into thinking it tasted like chocolate and gave them a huge free sample.  You should have seen their faces!  I thought for sure they’d throw up in their mouths.  I also had some Vegemite for the second time in my life, and it was “okay.”  Not something I would crave, but it must be one of those things that grows on you.

On the second day of the festival, the Korean girl group “Jewelry” performed.  Two songs they sang were live, and two were lip-synced.  Can you tell what category the following song falls into?

You might as well have been watching this video - they both sound a little too perfect.
