I forgot to write about the cute girl who approached me last Saturday walking to my exit from the Subway on my way to the Thanksgiving dinner. Oh, and I was with other foreigners too. I think I stand out a little more, that is why she noticed me.
She asked me where I was from, what my name was, and what I did here. She was in 6th grade. Her English was very good. I wish I could have answered her back in Korean though. I love those moments with children here.
Ironically, on Sunday morning at Korean class we finally learned some basic phrases. Yes, I learned to answer all three of her questions. I could answer her now.... 'chonun miguk saram ieyo', 'chonun Kimie eyo', and 'chonun sonsaengnim ieyo'.
Those exact three question were what we learned. I wonder though if I would have been brave enough to use them.
