Inn Keeper

Ever since we moved into our new place the one Inn Keeper has taken a certain liking to me. He is a cute old man with lots of energy. He knows that I am with Mark- as we quickly established that on moving day. He is not a creepy guy, but he certainly could be. He will often greet me with a sly grin and a weird hand gesture. He taps his thumb and pinky finger together several times, while giggling and making "oooohhh" sounds. I believe he is thinking that I'm going upstairs to get lucky! YES that is what his weird laughs are insinuating.
Back to the first day we met...  He noticed that we only had a twin bed. Well, that got him excited! He started  to gigle and pretend as if he was hugging something- suggesting that we would have to snuggle pretty closely to sleep- dirty boy!
He is hilarious. I think he is hoping that one day I would suddenly understand what he is saying. He only speaks in Korean.

Today:
He timed my run. I went for a run and found a new trail near the Nakdong River. It was nice. I walked up to the apartment and he tells me 45 minutes. OK! I get into the apartment and then the doorbell rang. What? HI! Pointing at his shoes. I pick up my runners, and hand them to him. NO NO NO. Suggesting I should put them on. OK. Lets take the elevater to the 9th floor. OK. We go to the roof. He starts running laps- motioning for me to do the same. He continues to yack in Korean- and quickly.
This is What I think was the conversation that we had.
You should train on the roof instead of on the trail. You can do push ups and everything. Or you should run up the hill around the ice rink and cultural center. Why would you want to go so far from the apartment when you have everything right here?
Funny guy- stay tuned- I know there will be more from him.
