"Are You Korean?"
Ashley (my newfound traveling partner) and I were kyaking in Halong Bay. Three Korean men were on our tour and I wanted to say something to them.
I yelled in Korean, "Where should we go?"
The men pointed. Then stared at me. They asked in Korean, "Are you Korean?"
I laughed and shook my head. Again, in Korean, "No, I am a foreigner."

I'm sure they did a double take on that one! You have always loved shakin' things up a bit!

I wondered what one of the Korean would say if, you actually anwsered them and said, "Yes, I Korean".

That is a beautiful and sublime moment, indeed.
From the stories on your blog, it sounds like you are truly learning the language and the heart of Korea.
It warms my heart,
