Well after readying myself for bed and climbing into my top bunk, a head appeared by my side and asked if I would like to learn Korean. Now? YES!!
After jotting down a few phrases and making me say them back to her - hundreds of times, because I wasn't getting the pronunciation quite Korean! She then told me I would be tested in 10minutes time! After getting a bit of help from a hand held translator she owns, Chan-mi told me repetition was the key! And so began a night filled with me doing very curious Korean accents to get my words just right. So after perfecting the first lot of phrases I was then given another - one particular lets me ask for chicken(chik'in cheseo), noodles (kur-su cheseo) and vegetables (ya-chae cheseo)! As ordering off menus is something of skill!
It ended up to be something of a very corny night, the 4 of us sat on my top bunk (when Hana and Jae-eun's curiosity got the better of them and overcame their coyness to join us!), giggling and gossiping about film stars - namely RPatz, Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom! They couldn't have made me feel more welcome!
Jae-eun brings me food presents to test what I like, today it was a packet of pepper steak flavour crisps (after the squid flavour disaster which they laughed about!). Also a sausage shape cheese with crab in it! (Not quite sure how to break it to her that was definite no!)
Well thats all for now, cho-un-ha-ru (have a nice day)!
