I am used to having Koreans come up and talk to me. I remember at Haeundae beach swimming and I used to get families come up and talk. I enjoyed it. But the conversation usually consisted of where are you from?, what is your job?, are you married? But still, I thought it was nice that they went out of their way to talk to me.
That being said..the other week I was on my way to walk along Gwangali beach and I was at a crosswalk crossing the street. Right across was an older Korean gentleman on a scooter. He started to drive in my direction. I thought he was going to run me over. Instead, he looks over at me and says ‘You have a nice body.’.
After I got over my shock, I laughed. What an interesting phrase to come out, totally unexpected. I of course wondered where he picked that phrase up. It did however put a smile on my face. And it does to this day.
