Girls Night Out

At lunch I was sitting with some Korean teachers.  We got to talking and I learned their names.  Then they invited me to come with them for supper.  We went into Jain and ate at this nice small place.  There was a dish similar to Topoki (sorry for misspelling), an omelet on top of rice and some other yummy things, bulgogi with rice, and a broth soup.  It was yummy.  We worked on teaching me some more Korean.  I didn't get very far.  But I learned that those who are a little older than me are oepa and onee... again I apologize for misspelling those words.  The first means brother and the second means sister.  They encouraged me to call the music teacher oepa next time I saw him.

Turns out he had been at lunch.  They loved asking me how old I thought they were before I was about ten years too young on my guesses.  He is like 50+ but I thought he was 38.  I called him oepa just like they suggested, and he laughed really hard.  He then said his daughter was 25 and she called him daddy.  So I should also call him that, which is alpa.  His wife then asked how old I looked to her and she looks even younger.  So I placed her around 32 and she was thrilled.  She promptly invited me to supper sometime and we arranged it for this weekend.  Making friends is a joy.
