So last weekI was officially invited to come out today and play volleyball with the all male crowd. In Korea, at school, volleyball is apparently played with 9 people on the court. We don't rotate and people don't really know what they are doing. In any case it's pretty entertaining and gives me a chance to smack a ball around once a week.
I don't think the male teachers have ever seen a girl that can actually get the ball over the net so I hear a lot of "good good", "nice-uhhhh" and MVP, my personal favorite, with lots of high 10's going around. The other female teachers are on the side lines and are bascially cheer leaders.
My vice principal, who didn't play today, is Mr. Serious in any situation. The guy isn't even playing and he's coming into our timeouts on the court and yelling something. Dude, piss off. You better lighten up or your Soju drinking days will be over before you know it.
So post game there is a table full of food. You're thinking mmm, post game snacks, yummy. No. Post game snacks consist of plates of raw fish and some other disgusting looking meat, little cherry tomatoes (which were actually very good), kimchi, and some raspberry wine. Hmmmm. I like the wine and everything fella's but not after a game. Ohhhhh Korea.
Put my face on this girl and that's me at our school vball games. I stay in the power position and basically just hit, hit, hit. Ohhhhh my aching shoulder!

My school has a decent women's volleyball club (remember, Korea, so decent is relative...) and so we split into men's and women's teams for "sports day." To fill out the nine people for the women's game, they usually get a few of the men to play, (and the principal likes to play with the women's team, so the other men are cool with it. My theory is that it makes him feel like he has mad volleyball skillz, but whatever.) but they aren't allowed to hit overhand. So basically it is hit,hit,hit for me, too.
