Another aspect of Sports Day is the competing "Cheerleaders" from the different departments. They dress up in these matador-type costumes, and perform difficult choreographed routines for which they have been training since the semester began. Here in Korea cheerleading is done by both men and women. I was surprised at the high level of sexual innuendo seeping through in the routines; not to mention the very short skirts.
Lecturers are expected to support their departments, so I spent some time sitting with my students, looking at all the dancing and other events. The one afternoon, however, I told my third year class I'll be in my office to review their second drafts of essays they had to hand in by the end of the week. I sat in my office the whole afternoon, but only four students made use of the opportunity. They will, of course, benefit.
