time 2 bond

it's 1pm on friday. i'm just about 2 leave the ck office with the rest of the crew 2 embark on an overnight 'team-building workshop.' yep, that's what they - the korean's - are calling it. everyone here seems pumped for what lays ahead, going so far as 2 break with the norm by wearing casual attire for the day (i do every day) & even, get this, consuming some bijo with our lunch @ the chinese restaurant earlier (a definite 1st). but then they probably know what lays ahead. me? well, i haven't been briefed fully - stress fully - but i can probably guess based on a few things: i was told we'll be overnighting (that mean we'll be drinking late tonight), i was told 2 bring 'sports' clothing, & i was told we'll been broken up into teams 2 do 'events.' so i can decipher from that that there will be 1) plenty of competition (typically korean), 2) plenty of alcohol consumed (also typically korean), & 3) little sleep garnered. i've been told i've been assigned 2 team 1 &, apart from being, obviously, the lone westerner in the team i'm also, i might joyously add, the lone male. so bring it on. we'll all be piling into a few cars for a 2 hour drive 2 some location where we'll do... do... do 'events,' in teams, wearing sports clothes after which we'll drink. all of this will bring us closer as a unit, or so it's thought. i can't wait. not that i need 2. cos we're off. now.
