My wife has a friend who's nickname is 'Soon' live in south of England. Her husband who's name is Jay Murray is Englishman. They married 4 years ago. Several days ago Soon visited to Korea. She met her family after four years and visited our home, stay over one night. My wife and Soon went for a drink all night. Maybe they talked about My English efforts and decided to connect with Jay. At least, I think Jay has an easygoing personality. Maybe he easily accepted Soon's idea.

Today's the day of our first conversation on What's app. What's app is just like abroad version of Kakaotalk. We talked about job, taste in music, future plan, parent's difficulties about parenting, etc.

Most interesting things about him is that he loves Motown music in 50s-60s, R&B, electronic. R&B is the basis of Rock music and I am a big fan of Rock, so we talked music in relatively long time. I want to talk about the Supremes's member who recently passed away, but I didn't remember her name, that's a shame.

Between England and South Korea, there is a gap of 9 hours. When we talk, England is 10am. He looked like wake up before the phone call. I feel sorry about that for some reason, but I never said that because he decided talk with me. Just 20 minutes, we wrap things up and are going to talk to every Monday at the same time. I think it's opportunity, and I would be better if I put on a thicker skin and just do it.
