Dinner with friends

Many years ago, Rie was a twenty-year old first-year teacher. Her very first Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) was Kevin from America. After their year of teaching together on Rie's home island, Kevin moved to Finland and became a professor. Rie and Kevin found each other on Facebook recently and Kevin came to Seoul last week. We met Kevin, his Finnish co-worker, and his Korean friend for dinner and drinks on Sunday night. It was a fun group of people and we stayed out way too late (for me).



I think I have now met 5 of Rie's 14 former ALTs - in Japan, Korea, and New York.
