AWKWARD...

yesterday my boss decided to tell me what he thought about me. He thinks that I am getting more beautiful everyday, "did you get a boyfriend" he asked. Because in Korea women often get more beautiful when they have a boyfriend. Through the interpreter she explained that he went back to Canada, so he was confused. And asked, well what could it be then? I had to mime that I was running and that the weather is more beautiful, so I feel better.
He also told me that my head/ face was getting smaller, and gave me a thumbs up. It was really uncomfortable, but is was so funny. We were all laughing so hard. Usually he tries to stay miles away from me.
Mark you better get back so that you can beat him up for talkin' about your girl;)

Yeah, the Korean propensity to talk about other people's physical features is interesting.

You might want to tell Mr. Kim to start brushing up on his Taekwondo, if it is going to be a fair fight.

Haha...That´s gold!! I, too, think your face is getting smaller, but I thought it would be weird if I said so... :-) Hope all is well with you. Take care.
