영어 나라 사람 today. I was so surprised and I thought it was great. I was walking to my car when another car pulled up next to me. Out jumped a little 5-7 year old boy. All of us have had this happen before. A little kid sees us, his eyes get as big as basketballs, and he belts out "엄마, 엄마 ㅏㅏㅏㅏㅏ, 미국 사람!!!!!" Or, "엄마, 외국 사람!!!!!!!" "Mom, mom, an American!!!!!!!" Or "Mom, mom, a foreigner!!!!"
But not this little fellow. The first thing I thought of was some mother finally taught their child correctly. He said "Mom, a person from an English speaking country."
Oh, it was beautiful.

I've gotten that before too. Although only from really little guys, that didn't seem as if they'd been talking for a long time. Though it really is a similar assumption--look at the English-speaking person.

Kid must be psychic. How'd he know you were a native English speaker?

Guy on the subway last week thought I was Indian. Must be those dashing semitic features of mine.

While driving last week, a taxi driver called to me "Are you Russian?" I said, "아니오, 한국사람"!! Freaked him and his passengers out!!

[helly]

No, No! He was just calling you "a person from those weird English videos with foreigners"

I, personally, will never forget the first time I was called adjeoshi. I'm pretty sure I can remember every subsequent time as well.
