Despite the fact that I'm in Korea, I don't really know any Koreans other than the teachers at my school. But a few weeks ago I met a woman my age who works in the same building as I do. I run into her around town and at the gym all the time and it took me forever to remember her name (it's Min-jong). But she was always so excited to see me and her boyfriend was in town this weekend (his name is Un-yong) and we all went out for some drinks after she and I got off work tonight.
They were so nice! They cracked me up, kept saying how excited they were to have a foreign friend. And I could truthfully respond that I was really happy to have Korean friends. They said they want to visit my home in the States and I said they are always welcome, that my parents love to have people from other countries stay at our house. So Mom and Dad, stock your kimchi refrigerator.
