June 7, Back to the Rink
I met a new Korean friend who is hosting a female language exchange with Russian/Hong Kong/Chinese/Panamanian members, took the bus, walked a mile uphill through Korea University campus, successfully proved my skills at the rink.
A group of kids were playing around in front of me in the penalty box and it made me happy that they didn’t think twice about the only foreigner in the building. I also told a kid I thought his laces were cool (“와, 대박…좋아요”) but he got shy and didn’t look at me. His coach did, though.
