My dart team is taking its traditional “MT” to Busan today.  This is my first year with the team, so I’m not totally sure what to expect.

What’s an MT?  Good question, and one I asked myself.  Here’s the response I got:

In the world of Konglish, that means “Membership Training”.  It is commonly
used by students and company workers when they have a trip organized by
their school or company, which generally boils down to heading out of town
and partying for a couple of days.  It is amazing the acceptability of it
though.  If I told my [Korean] wife “Honey, I’m going down to Busan to play darts and
get smashed with my buddies” she would tell me to F-off, but when I say “We
have team MT this weekend” it all seems quite acceptable and normal. 

So there you have it.

Seven of us making the trip via KTX.  I’ll be back Sunday night with a full report.
