Korean Taxi Ride
The other day I decided to take a taxi home.. for very important reasons (I had to get home to do phone teaching and I wanted enough time to order pizza and have it arrive before I had to start - REAL important...). Anyways, I get into the taxi and the guy starts talking to me in mostly Korean but with the odd English word thrown in. At this point of my stay in Korea, I can understand certain words in Korean.. not too many I have to say. So he asks me where I'm from, and when I say Canada, he goes, "Oh, goood. Canada, number one!" And repeats this over and over.. then he says some other stuff and I finally figure out he's asking me if I have kids.. Then I say no. And I think from there he was asking me if I have a boyfriend or husband back in Canada. Then if I have one in Korea (either that or he was asking me if I wanted him to be my boyfriend - not sure - this is where it got hazy). Oh, also at some point he goes, "Jesus?" And I say "No!" Hahaha. Good times in broken English and Korean.
