As They Wave Us to Victory

SOTW
For your listening enjoyment.
"Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning."

As a foreigner living in South Korea, normal everyday things, such as, walking down the street, can become exciting events.

One thing Koreans, especially children, are very fond of is saying "Hi" to foreigners in English. At first, it is very tentative and usually as you have already walked past, but then, as you turn around and say "Hi" back, suddenly a chorus of people out of nowhere are shouting their English "Hello's", and practically cheering us on our way. Suddenly, a quick run to the shop has turned into the Olympic torch run. And as they wave us to victory, we walk on our way with heads held a little higher.




My name as the students spell it.
