Hey, White.

The other day, as I was walking down the street in Gangseo, the district in which I live and teach, a man approached me and uttered these two words:  "Hey, White!" and, with a wave of his hand, strode off in the opposite direction.  It was one of those short interactions that, however brief, summed up a large portion of my life in Korea.  As this adventure unfolds, I will certainly have more to say on this topic.  For now, I am merely amused.
