That might be why I hadn't hear about the June 6th Sokcho Beach Apocalypse party. Apparently, it is being advertised on Facebook but I couldn't find it. I will be in Donghae for a staff party so I'm going to miss the excitement here - I wonder if Kwandongwife, who will be on duty at the coast Guard office, will be called in to translate for the police.

Those parties aren't exactly our thing either, but I heard there are upwards of 150 planning to attend the one tomorrow night. Of course, if the weather doesn't pan out, I'm sure the numbers will be much lower.
i'm calling the cops. LOL but i'm with you guys. the prospect of hanging out with more than a 100 drunk foreigner english teachers in their early to mid-20s isn't my idea of a great time.
I went to BBA this weekend and it was completely great and drama-free - no scandals, no arrests, just good socializing and sleeping on the beach. Not sure if there are any official numbers, but I'd say there were almost 200 people at the height. We're not all fratboys, PAKA - a few drinks on the beach with a bonfire and a guitar doesn't have an age limit, don't be so quick to write us off.
Someone went to City Hall and got approval ahead of time, by the way. That's where the "no glass" rule came from. Also, at least one of the organizers cleaned up afterward. They were responsible and respectful.
"don't be so quick to write us off."
My apologies. I don't know if I am becoming a cranky old man, but i did expect trouble and I can't really say why. Hopefully I have not been swayed by the newspaper reports -amplified (and mocked) by bloggers like myself- of ESL teachers as holigans.
I had a great time on the weekend and can honestly say I am glad others did, too. My compliments to the organizers and I hope I can attend a future party of this sort. I know that I cannot attend the American Independence Day party described in this blog post.
