Jason and Jennifer picked me up from the airport and of course we went straight to this korean restaurant and got Dakgalbi (chicken dish with lots of other tasty things in it) for dinner. It was so good, although not quite as good as Chuncheon's. We also made sure to get some Soju (essentially korean vodka) and reminisced about our summer in Korea. I so wish we had a place like that in Charlotte, I would seriously go all the time. After dinner, we decided to check out a norebang (singing room/karaoke). We had a blast singing songs, and of course Jason hogged the mic, haha!
Saturday I had to wake up very early to take a subway and bus to get to the school where my interview was. It was FREEZING cold and very windy, and I had to trek through the snow to get to both the subway and the building where my interview was. There were about 20 people being interviewed and there were four others from the US. The two guys doing the interviews were hilarious, laid-back and really made the whole experience so much fun. First we had a presentation for the whole group learning about Carnival and what our jobs would entail, and they answered all of our questions. We played a game where we had to in groups of four and each tell a story but only one was true, and everyone else had to guess which one. I guess it was to see how we spoke in front of a group of people and to see our personalities a bit. Then they assigned us individual interview times and we all left to go get food. I ended up interviewing at the same time as a Canadian girl who offered to drive me back to the subway so I wouldn't have to wait for the bus. We mostly joked around with the guys, and they asked us all of two "interview" questions and then they would go off on some tangent and laugh again. I felt really good about the interview, and they seemed to really like me, so I am very hopeful. I should know by the end of this week whether or not I got the job.
After my interview I headed back to Jason's house and took a nap because I was thoroughly exhausted. One of his roommate's birthdays was that weekend so we ordered chinese and had cake and canadian beer (which was very good by the way) and watched episodes of How I Met Your Mother. Then we decided it would be fun to go back to the norebang, since everyone else had never been there. We once again rocked out to some epic songs, and the korean guys that worked there kept giving us extra time for free. I think they really liked that we came back and brought more people with us. We got back to Jason's place pretty late, around 3ish. So I got what sleep I could and then had to be up to pack and leave for the airport. I had a blast, and I definitely want to go back to Toronto to see and explore more, maybe when its a little warmer.
Here are some pictures from the weekend:

It was snowing!
I was really excited about the snow. Little did I know how much I would hate it in the morning. haha
