12 Pubs of Christmas (Ugly Sweater Party)

This past weekend was the "12 Pubs of Christmas Ugly Sweater Party". What fun? There were a ton of people from our Epik intake there and it wasn't just Daegu people. Many friend from Busan and the surrounding small towns came in for the weekend. No one wanted to miss this! We were lead by our fearless elf leader, MJ, who was equipped with a timer (set to 30 minutes), whistle, horn, and of course homemade elf shoes... He kept us on a strict schedule which was necessary considering we had to make it to 12 pubs!

RULE BREAKERS WILL BE PUT ON THE NAUGHTY LIST

Twas the night before 12 pubs
And all through town,
All the teachers were itching
To drink and get down.

Their lessons had been taught
With smiles and good cheer
All knowing that the weekend
So soon would be here.

In downtown Daegu
They soon would all meet
To consume 12 drinks
Quite a drunk jolly feat.

The sweaters were ready
And their livers were too,
Bracing for gogo bags
And loads of soju.

With good care they chose
A route and good plan,
To leave them all drunk
And barely able to stand.

And when it is finished
We'll all have a ball,
So chug away chug away,
Chug away all.

The guys with their aftermath of "no-shave-November" and "movember" staches... With their sweaters it was as if we were stepping back into another time! :)
