WE WON!

I can hardly believe it but we won the "All Together: Top Talent" contest hosted by Arirang TV, for our province! It really is quite unbelievable to me. CareyAnn and I entered the contest in order to do something different and challenge ourselves to memorize a Korean song... and now we won for our area! AAAHHHHH!

Yesterday was really exciting. It was a lot better than the first round of the contest. There were 10 competitors in this round and they had actual hosts and interview questions. It was really fun AND funny!

By some strange twist of fate our practice of the song in the morning was AWFUL... but when it came time for the contest we somehow rocked it! We were cute, and got through the entire song without a mistake! BUT the thing that really pushed us into the top spot was not us at all... it was the audience participation. There was an amazing group of ajummas (older women) in the back who were LOVING the song and they were dancing and going crazy! After we finished the Emcee asked the ladies to come down and teach us to dance the "ajumma dance" it was really funny! So, a little song, a little dance, and now CareyAnn and I are $1,500 richer and just a little more famous! :-) Video of the event to come soon! Here is the video for one of our practices in my room. Enjoy!
