Of Eldery Korean Women
I stopped out for a brief moment to catch some lunch at the 7-11 and on my way back, and elderly woman, must have been about 70-80 years old, stops dead in her tracks, smiles at me, and then starts to twirl in circles with arms outstretched. She gestures for me to join her, so I do. Afterwards, she continues to bow deeply, far more deeper than she should since I am so young compared to her, and she grabs my hand while repeatedly going "Arigatou gozaimashita! Arigatou gozaimashita!" When I asked why, she said "I am Korean."
She kept holding my hand while bowing, the smile never left her face.
I don't know what I had done to make the old woman so happy, but it was the first time since I've been here that someone seemed so happy that I was here.
I think she lives in the neighborhood. Hopefully I'll see her again.
