On my way to work Monday morning, in the supermarket (I was about to buy water...), I met a lady from the Philippines. We looked at each other and finally spoke. Her first question was if I was from the Philippines. After I told her no, she asked me for my phone number and email address. I gave both of them to her and explained that I am preparing to shut my phone off because I will be leaving Korea soon. She then asked me if I Facebook. I politely told her that I didn't. I took her phone number too, as a polite gesture, but I knew I wasn't going to call.
Tuesday afternoon she called me. I was a little surprised but remembered who she was. She invited me to go with her and her family (husband and 2 small boys) to the East Beach. As much as I LOVE beaches, I had to tell her no. Of course, I was very nice about it. I told her that I really did appreciate the offer, but I wouldn't be able to go. I have my reasons for saying no, just in case you are wondering, here are my top two:
1. I just met you and don't know you.
2. When it gets hot in Korea, it gets really hot! Because of this small kids run around and play in the water naked. I'm not sure how old her her sons are, but I do not want to see that. (Side note....as I was walking home from work, on the main street, I saw a little boy (maybe 2 years old) walking around with no diaper/underwear on! My thought...where are your bottoms lil buddy!)
18 days....18 more days.....
