Bombardment in the Supermarket

I had a nice post prepared for today to talk about life in the classroom, since I haven't really been focusing on that much. But I can't remember much of anything that happened today at school after my trip to the Supermarket.
It's not like it was traumatizing or anything - just a few children came up to me while I was doing some shopping, and said "hello." So I smile and say hello, naturally (there are four of them). Then they start speaking Korean to me. At first I actually understood a little bit! They asked me where I was from and I told them. I think I said one or two other things in Korean. Then they started asking me a bunch of questions, and I am very limited in my Korean now because I don't know any verbs (not like I know many nouns but I still know enough to be able to recognize some words when I hear people talking). So I said "I'm sorry, I don't understand" in Korean (Oh by the way - I know I've been writing some things in hangul and I didn't even think that some people may not be able to read the hangul on their computer - so I'll try to leave the hangul out on this site). Anyway, they started asking me some more questions and I continued to say "I don't understand." So I thought when I left then that would be it. But they started following me around, and being really loud, attracting a lot of attention. One of the boys was also pushing one of the girls, and he was also pushing her into me many of the times. So I'm trying to walk away kind of fast and into an open area with many other people to try and get them to move away, but they kept following me and being really loud, and kind of embarrassing me because it was really evident that I didn't know any Korean (it didn't help that they were speaking really fast either, but still - the things I know how to say are limited to situations for which I have studied phrases...) So I kind of bolted to the register just to get away from them.
At first I was actually excited because I was thinking...sweet! I'm having a little bit of a conversation with people (little people, but still) in a supermarket! But after 5 minutes of this I started to feel kind of uncomfortable...mostly because people were staring at me and it was basically being pointed out by loud little children who were shoving each other all over the supermarket that I didn't know any Korean...haha. Whatever. I don't care. It makes me appreciate the kids in my classes though - even though some of them are unruly and can be kind of annoying, they don't really compare to these kids.

Well definitely I will post some class-oriented things for next week. Going to get some rest now for a weekend of great company and exercise :)
