A week after my first meeting with Yongbae, we met again at Dunkin Donuts on campus for coffee. We had a quick exchange about who was going to pay, but he insisted on paying because it was a Korean custom to always pay for your guest. I think this is great, and Americans should have the same joy to pay for their guests.
We sat outside and began discussing a variety of things. The main piece of our conversation was about the president of South Korea. When I first asked about it, I was concerned about if the topic was going to be too high of a level for him, but he spoke well! I was impressed with how much his vocabulary expanded since our last meeting. It has been really cool to see his progress with English.
