Making friends isn't an easy task for some people and I happen to be one of them even if you seem easy to befriend, physically it's a no no for me, I might look at you, imagine what to ask or picture how to be your friend but I will rather stay back than make that move but thanks to social media which make things easier, we don't need to stress things, just send a friend request or pop in that first message and wait if they will be curious to know who you are or not. This is my entry to the Korean Hive Village prompt, I haven't for once given it a thought whether I want a Korea friend or not but that won't be a bad idea because sometimes, after watching their movies, I'm always curious about certain things that they might have answers to.
So as not to be too forward or look like someone with a mission, we get to know each other first, the simple introduction, our location, things we have interest in etc and how their daily activities look like, if they have interest in traveling outside the country to view how life is outside Korea. Their food is one part that interests me, I often wonder how their food taste like, the time they use in cooking, In movies, they usually flip their frying pans few times and the food is ready, which usually don't take up a mins, it is also real outside movies, somehow I love how they usually have many dishes at a go, always giving that balance diet vibes and there are some dishes I will love to try, I do imagine eating tteokbokki and kimchi and at the same time, I will tell them about our African dishes, our swallow meals, our various soups which I know might look strange to them at first. Also, I do wonder how they manage to use chopsticks, balancing two sticks between fingers, picking up the food without it falling off.

Another part I do like to discuss about is their education system, I do wonder why they have separations in schools, the rich and the poor, in movies, anytime a new student entered a new school, they immediately become a target to the school bullies, they are often maltreated so badly yet they can't report to the school authorities or they will get into more trouble, I do wonder if these things are real or not, are there bullies in schools over there especially among wealthy student towards those on scholarships. Lastly, my interest will be about their languages, I know they have one main language which I will love to learn, I do imagine how some people can speak Korean fluently by using learning apps like dualingo and they practice it by speaking with koreans which is kind of interesting, most Koreans rarely speak english and some use translators, learning their language or even teaching each other will be fun.
