Korea Has Met America

There are just a few things about America that makes life ever-so-enjoyable for America to live her own life (if that makes any sense): sarcasm and cracking a joke at just the right time... The right time being at that crucial moment of tension that relieves the stress that has built up for one reason or another. Korea has caught on!

It took Korea quite a while to break out of the shell she came into the UN with. And immediately noticing this quiet facade, America slowly broke out her own personality as not to overwhelm Korea with it all at once. Korea is quick on the draw (America also noticed this right away)...Korea catches everything that goes on around her and follows/mimics the behavior.

And now, Korea has met America. For instance:

At church one Sunday, while greeting those coming into church: Korea was standing next to America when Fiji finally walked up to the two of them. Korea took one step to the right so Fiji could stand next to his wife, America. Noticing that Korea stepped away from America, America says, "Don't you like me no 'more?"
Korea, without missing a beat says, "Nope."
America replies with, "That's okay, I didn't like you anyway."
Korea: "Good cause I don't like you either."

At the burial - which, as America has mentioned in a previous post was cold - Korea walks up to the gravesite and turns toward America and huddles up to the rent-a-motherland and shivers in the chilly air. America wraps her arms around rent-a-nation and they huddle together for warmth. By the end, it was clear to both Korea and America that if grandpa was going to die the day before his birthday, he should have picked July to be born.

Korea joined Honorary Spain, Spain's new member organization, and America to a movie. So overjoyed...she voluntarily went to see the spectacle of world travel (Mission Impossible 4...views of Russia, Dubai, India, America, Czech Republic, and a few others).

So America has been so very impressed with Korea as a member nation, has fully enjoyed getting to know Korea in new ways, and is starting to look forward to all the time together as the world pauses to celebrate Christmas and New Year!
