21 September
Today we decided to meet in front of Strozier again but we walked over to the patio of Rising Roll. We both agreed that we weren't hungry this time but we went inside very quickly to buy drinks. This was the second time we fought over who paid for the food/drinks but he had me beat because he already had his wallet pulled out.
When we sat down, we had a cultural conversation on paying for other people's drink and food. He explained that in Korea, it's usually the older men that pay for the meal because they are usually known to carry jobs compared to the students or younger people. I explained that in American culture it's usually the same but that students like to be more independent and try to pay for as much as they can typically because this is the first time they're alone. Even then I explained to him that I didn't feel too young anymore since I'm turning 23 years old this year but Yongbae laughed and said he was about double my age and I just laughed with him.
We ended up going over our allotted time by over 20 minutes and we both panicked because we had plans afterwards so we quickly said bye and planned out meeting for next week (as always Wednesday afternoons).
