going out with classmates

after the placement test, i was placed in the level 2 @ yonsei korean language institute (kli).
since most students from japan start kli program in april (japanese school year ends in march), there are not too many students from japan yet. instead, many chinese students, especially in lower level classes (level 1 & level 2). my class is no exception. more than half the students are from china, including one ethnic korean born and raised in beijing.
at our level, it's difficult to communicate in korean only, however, some of my chinese classmates speak english, so unlike other classes, we got to know each other very quickly.
this is the first night we went out together. 5900won (about $6) all-you-can-eat korean bbq --> bar --> karaoke. coming to seoul, i appreciate my ability to drink alcohol all the more. this korean drinking culture is .... fun!
