Hi all,

A korean friend of mine sent me this letter, and wrote some of it in Korean. Can someone help translate it for me?

Hello I'm MiKyeongGi

Isn't it strange that I write in Korean?
Can you understand? (I think maybe mith or peony -those familiar with email style could help here)
Anyway, it's amazing, If you understand like this, let's go for some food and to Kyeong Bok Palance...
It's really unfortunate, you're not good looking, my heart hurts hehehehe (I think she is joking or trying to be cute again others may know better)
I'm really lonely (again in a joking style)
Anyway Dave we should continue to make a conection (with each other)
If I could use English easily like this I think I would be happy,,
If you're curious translate this using a dictionary
Bye

almost same as Sliver's translation, and my opinion is, this girl flirting hard and wants to get to know you better! Wink

"hi, its me Mi Kyung
its weird im writing in korean isnt it
will you be able to understand it?
anyways its interesting/mysterious/odd (how) we met/ got to know each other and have gone to eat, have been to kyungbok palace together
its a real shame, you're so ugly, it hurts me .. keke <i bet you anything she is meaning the opposite and she is joking to cover up her shyness and what she wants to say>
to be honest, im really lonely .. keke
anyways dave, lets (try to) make a good relationship/connection <this does not necessarily mean anything more than platonic>
i think i'd be really happy if i were able to write as easily as this in english
if you're curious, try looking up in the dictionary to translate
bye~ "

Heheh thanks everyone. I tried running it through the babelfish translation program, but the results made no sense.
