... we departed on a very full bus (couldn't fit all our luggage in the cargo hold so a half dozen suitcases clogged the aisle) this morning to head out to Sung Kyul University where we performed a short programme in a lousy acoustic for a captive and mostly sleeping audience, apparently we interrupted their naptime.
Then they led us to a much nicer hall in order for us to listen to their handbell choir practice for a half hour...
... then back to Seoul, where we did another mini-concert for the Seoul Women's Chorus.
On the drive there, we saw some riot police quelling a group of protesters, we couldn't figure out what they were protesting though.
After the concert, we led a workshop on African choral music (thus tying in the rep from the end of our full show)... was pretty cool teaching the Korean women to boogie!
Afterwards the ladies took us out for this wonderful chicken feast involving small game hens stuffed with rice and stewed in small individual iron pots, yum!
We then had a 2+ hr bus ride to Daejon, our HQ for the next 2 days. Our original accommodations got messed up, so we were diverted to... a CONVENT! So, no drinking and we're expected to be very quiet. There was some further confusion on room aasignments, as Greg, Alex, Rick & I were given a tiny closet of a room with only 2 eensy beds... yeah right, we'll get lots of sleep there!
We got it worked out though, and even discovered the nunnery has a good wifi connection, enough for a decent skype call home even!
Busy day tomorrow and the phone's running out of juice, so I'd best sign off.
I leave you with today's strange misspelled (?) product...
... I suspect they maybe meant CrunCHy or CHunky, but who knows? G'nite!
