Eighteen months ago .....
Friend A : Why are you studying korean?
Me : Oh, you see, i am planning for a short trip to korea 3 months later. If i know a little korean, it would be useful, wouldnt it?
Friend A (astonished) : WHAT?! You are studying korean because you are planning to visit korea?!
Friend A (puzzled) : If you were to plan to go India, you would take up indian language too??
Me : Err ..........
Eighteen months later .....
Friend B : Why do you study korean?
Me : Oh, i picked up korean 3 months before i travelled to korea last september. For convenience lah.
Friend B (also shocked) : WHAT?! What if you intend to travel to India? You would pick up indian language?
Me (smarter this time) : 하하하 ... you are wrong ...
Me (smiling) : ... Luckily i dont have to cos the people in India can speak english. ㅋㅋㅋ
