Met a Korean in Sagada

by admin

There are many Koreans in Baguio City and most of them are there to study English. Now I’m not sure why they chose to be there instead of here in Manila. I guess it’s cheaper and the climate’s probably closer to their own back home.

Some of them would visit Sagada, Bontoc or Banaue.

On my first trip to Sagada, I met a Korean girl named Mei. I was sitting on the bleachers of the basketball court near St. Mary’s Church when I noticed her writing on her red notebook. I introduced myself and she was very friendly and accommodating.

The red notebook turned out to be her diary. I could only imagine what she was writing there because I had a hard time understanding her English and she understanding me. I guess she had just started learning the language.

This is a photo of her. I know it’s a very poor shot but it’s the only photo I had of her. I couldn’t aim right because it was dark and my camera’s lcd screen wasn’t working so I had to use the viewfinder to no avail.
