My closest Korean friend - Choi Yujin

The first time I met Yujin was at Dupont Circle's Madhatter. She was Leong's colleague and he invited her along for dinner and that is how I got to know her. Ok la, she is quite pretty... hahahaha!!! A very decent girl and easy to get along with. I will remember her as the fun and playful girl who always says: "You're so mean..." haha! that is what she always calls Leong and me when we tease her. Like most Koreans, she is very proud of Korea but the great thing is that she accepts and respects other cultures as well. She makes people feel comfortable with her and she is very funny at time cause she is a little "blur blur"... LOL!!!


 The beautiful Choi Yujin and me

We did many things together and got to know one another rather well. Ate a lot together and had various outings such as going to Georgetown etc. However, I will always remember her for one very special occasion: International Festival at The Washington Center. She helped me the booth and acted like a Singaporean.and it was so funny. She could lie only to the non-Asians though. After making friends with so many Singaporeans she could also speak some Singlish especially: "Diam la" (Shut up!).

I also had the privilege of traveling with Yujin at New York. (She stayed in New York for 1 month!). It was indeed very fun . We watch Broadway, shopped at flee market, watched ice hockey together and explored various parts of New York and she also brought us to Korean street when we had excellent Korean Tofu food. It was particularly good because there is free flow appetizers!!! hahaha!!!

We really had lots of fun together and will definitely want to visit her in Korea or Indonesia some day! Thanks for all the fun times Yujin! Let's meet up when we can!:)
