People: Mr. Gang and his family
While on my travels, it's always nice to get to know the locals on a more personal level...
Two days back, Mr. S.G.Gang brought me out to dinner, when his family came down for a four-day visit. Mr. Gang and I work together on-site in Gwangyang, and his family lives five hours away in Seoul.
The family: Ms. Jang (장정화)* and daughters 보영 + 보경. We met up previously, when they visited in autumn.Nice people. Just wished the kids wouldn't be so shy. I swear that they didn't dare look me in the eye throughout the meal.
ㅠ_ㅠ... Am I THAT ugly?!
*Cultural note ~ Apparently you do not call someone by their husband's last name in Korea. So addressing Mr Gang's wife as "Mrs. Gang" probably doesn't sound quite right, even though it is accepted/not offending. Using her maiden family name instead, would be more appropriate.
Haven't quite figured out how else to address the person yet, if you don't know her family name. I guess I can get away for being the foreigner. :P
Thanks for the awesome dinner Mr. Gang!
