Hyo Sang and I met at Momo's pizza with his friend Seop. While there Seop asked me a few questions about phrases like "watch what you eat" and "watch my food." They also taught me that when Koreans make a bad joke they cover their mouths and make a funny sound. I found this hilarious. Hyo Sang and I also watched some women's soccer at CIES. We discussed soccer terminology like "substitution" and its shortened version "sub." We even talked about descriptive words that can be used in a soccer setting. Hyo Sang asked if I knew any cards games because he was curious about some games that he saw people playing when he was in a casino in China. I told him some of the basic rules and lingo to play Texas Hold 'Em. He told me he was a little worried about his pronunciation of the word "beach" because he did not want to be misunderstood as saying a more vulgar word which a similar sound. I said that context is very helpful for interpreting that word correctly, so as long as it is clear that he is talking about something beach related he should not be misunderstood.
