Tonight I attended an international cafe night, in which the few token foreigners are distributed among tables full of Koreans who want to practice their English (or Japanese) speaking skills. Being showcased to a bunch of strange Koreans seemed to embarrass my friend Henry, but the unlimited beer refills helped him get over it.
My favorite quote of the night:
"Superman is so munchkin." (spoken by the Korean guy at the end of the table while explaining why he prefers Marvel comics to DC)
I also met this amazing high school student named Elaina who is already able to converse in three different languages. Puts me to shame, I'm telling you! (Elaina is her English name...she's actually Korean.) Guess I'd better study harder...
