Fact

Last night Michael, Mallory and myself found ourselves back at Thursday Party Nampo* because of some undesirable circumstances.
Drinks were needed and it was the perfect place to go!  

You know how in the theme song to Cheers "Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.  Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came"?  That's us and this place.  It's a second home.**

So we went and we started drinking.  And who knew that Sundays are GREAT nights in Thursday Party Nampo!!
We put some alcohol in our bodies and started to forget the bad stuff.  
We hung out with our friends who work there.  
Listened to great music.  
And just let the night carry on.

And then we met a lot of new people!!!


One of the new people we met was Korean-American.  So I asked him, maybe a beer-or-2-fueled, if his last name was Kim.
He said racist.  I said fact.

And it actually is factual.  I know, I've already looked this up for a past post!  Plus I'm not racist. 
That's another fact.


Here's the facts of family names in Korea.   From the most reliable source on the internet - Wikipedia!


And perhaps you are thinking - What does Wikipedia know?  Well, they know a lot!!  I checked Wiki's facts against the Korean teachers at my school.


***

AND!! I counted myself in the total number of teachers at Daepyung and since I am NOT Korean I don't count in the name game, so the percentage at my school is even higher!!  

48.84% have the last name Kim, Park or Lee (I didn't even count the Choi's or the Jung's)
Boom.  
Fact.






* You have to say which Thursday Party it is, because there are 12 of them now! 
** Second home not because we booze endlessly, but because of the staff/our friends who work there. 
*** Kevin Kim, Jay Park and Arlen all work at Thursday Party Nampo.  The staff there didn't conform to the facts, but as stated there are some of the common last names there and the rest of them are just the outliers.  ^^
