Introducing: Hae Yeon


This is Hae Yeon Park.
She is a member of Saigon Bethel Church, Young Adults Group.

Same age, twenty-one.
Lives one minute away from Donut's Donuts.
Moved to Vietnam a little over 4 years ago.
Parents live in Korea, so home-stays at a church member's house.
Attends a Vietnamese College! (So cool!)

There's no one at Bethel that's our age, so she was very happy to meet a "friend".
It's due to the Korean culture, where you can't call or even consider someone younger or older a friend.
(So different from America. At GCC we're all friends! Even from ages 20 to 50! 
I miss my friends.. QQ)
But I'm thankful that she makes an effort to spend time and build a relationship with me 
cus knowing me, I wouldn't.

This is the first time I did anything outside of Donut's Donut's & Bethel Church activities.
We went to go eat Soon Dae Gook and chilled at a Vietnamese Cafe.

It's still weird that I'm most free on sundays and that I have this kind of leisure to go out, eat dinner, and chit-chat at a cafe.

Enjoy it while I can? :)

    1. I'm really realizing that it's very difficult holding a full-on conversation in Korean.
      I'm like sweating talking to all these Koreans, leading bible study in Korean......
      Sigh.

      때려쳐? I don know
