I know I get looks, I get stares, but it is really funny when a child does it. The thing is I normally don't get to hear what the child says; I'm usually too far away.
I had been studying for the whole afternoon and I was tired, I was walking home. I see this small girl standing at the crosswalk waiting for the light to turn. She sees me and her eyes grow large. She runs to her father and says "아빠, 오국 / Dad, a foreign" (the word for 'foreigner' is different, she just said 'foreign').
I look at her and say "외국? / Foreign?"
She nods her head as I say hello to her in Korean. She then tries to imitate me by sticking out her chest, raising her shoulders a bit and in the deepest voice she can muster says hello back to me in Korean.
(repeat 2x)
I walk away laughing. Hahahaha (and I am still laughing~)

Hi Rick in Korea,
This sounds like fun.
Can I join in on the Korean experience?
Love,
Dad & Mom
