So I had my first Korean crazy man experience.

Let me lay out the scene. I was walking through the underground mall in Chuncheon with 2 Korean-Americans on our program, and 1 other white male. We were walking at a quick pace, not really window-shopping anymore when we here these fast and heavy footsteps behind us. A second later, this guy is grabbing my arm and speaking korean to me so fast I can't even pick out words or even verb markers. I look at my friends who are nearly fluent, and they say that he wants me to help them. He's holding a piece of paper and he opens it for me to see the korean words for family members and the english translation. He starts reading them sloppily and so I figure the guy just wants a real quick lesson. I went through the list and sounded them out slowly for him. He then started saying things in korean that the girls translated for me. He said my hair was pretty and that the other guy's face was handsome. He asked for the english word "ladies" in korean and then said to us guys that we had pretty girlfriends. Every so often he would say one word in korean that I understood and I would repeat it to him and tell him the english word. He was so amazed by this that he thought I was actually fluent in Korean and told the two girls that my Korean was perfect. One of the girls and I just said "nice to meet you" and left, and as we turned back, the guy was busily unbuttoning part of his shirt to get his necklace off and put it on the other guy. The guy could barely think of Korean words sometimes and his mannerisms were very odd.

The next thing we witnessed was an umbrella fight with two drunks at about 4 in the afternoon. Just another day in Korea.
