Unexpected short meetup in Baltimore

I happened to meet my blog readers in Baltimore recently.
My friends and I finished dinner at a Korean restaurant and we were walking to the door to leave.  There were some people sitting at a table right next to the door.

When I passed their table, we looked at each other at the same time. One of them just pointed me opening his mouth without saying anything. “uh uh!!!” “Do you know me?” I approached them to check just in case if they are my readers. All of them say, “yah!”  One of them said, “oh man! we were just talking about you! just seeing you here!”

My friends were waiting for me outside the restaurant, so I had to leave them right after we took a photo. One of them, Eugene, gave me his email and I promised to send him the photo I took.

I emailed my interview questions to them and I got the answers. So even though it was short meetup like a flash of lightning, I’m very impressed with the fact that they have been my readers for a long time. All of them look handsome, smart, and open minded!   Don’t you think so?  They are not related to Korean cultures, but all of them love Korean food. See? We met at a Korean restaurant! : )

My message for you guys! “study hard and eat well!”
Thank you very much for answering the interview!

All these 4 are smart Johns Hopkins students!
