This Guy, This Guy Right Here

This guy, this guy right here is Mr. Kim. He was found on the streets of Suji and he asked if he could come in and sing a song. We figured, why not? He looks like he could use some waygook cheer. When he got hold of the microphone he told us he was director of a hagwon (private, after-school academy) and then told us how he was having a difficult time with his foreign teachers and how we should not visit certain party-places in Seoul. I was thinking, Maybe your foreign teachers don't like you because you follow them around and tell them what to do on their time off, just a guess. Anywhoo- he shut down Melissa and Ken in mid-song and that was it for Mr. Kim. Sometimes you can only stretch the cultural bridge so far.
