So on the weekend I hooked up with this great guy after the Busan Beer Olympics. I had only one beer and he didn’t appear to be drunk. Now he was wearing this shirt. I can’t read korean so I am not sure what it said. What I do know..is it was a really fabulous, hot night. But now…he doesn’t call. He doesn’t text. And the worst part is when I was with him Koreans were laughing, pointing, smiling and giving him thumbs up signs. Am I missing something????
Ok…you found me out. I know what the tshirt says. And the guy is not a cad, I have been seeing him for a while. But the havoc this shirt has caused has been amusing. We were in Nampodong and everywhere we went he caused smiles. This is great because it fits in with my philosophy of making Koreans smile. He is all in his glory with this shirt and it is absolutely adorable. I just hope its a phase. 
I find it interesting that Koreans can come up to us and ask us if we know what the shirt means. But there have been thousands of times I have wanted to go up to a Korean and ask them if they know what the english on their shirt means. I think I am going to have to start wearing korean shirts. I just have to find a word that describes me…any suggestions? Definitely not 바람둥이 .
Well I have often wondered when seeing Koreans wearing shirts and hats that have the names and symbols of teams or maybe some foreign places on them if they know what it means. I have started to ask them.
About two years ago one young man on the subway was wearing an Alabama sweatshirt and I asked if he knew that place and he said that yes he did, because he attended the University of Alabama for a year. It also turns out that he knew a teacher there whom was a year of ahead of me at the first college I attended.
