I woke up at 8 o'clock.
and then I went to INTERNET CAFE because I wanted to check my e-mail.
It's a long time since I use a internet.
But the power supply was cut off.
Unavoidablely I came back home.
and then I went to restaurant with my friend.
When we was waiting food, a white man was coming to restaurant.

When I lived in Korea, I thought a white person as a foreigner.
but now, As we are in the same circumstances which live in foreign country especially Tanzania, I feel equally.
(They who tanzanian call the white person“Mzungu”. I'm a MZUNGU too .)
so, I felt gladness.
We had a lunch together talking about Tanzania life.
It was a very funny time.

  • It was a very funny time. 웃겼어요? or do you mean 재미있었어요? I guess that you mean the latter~ 재미있어요. Korean people often make this mistake (because of dictionary translations) but if you say you had a funny time then it sounds to an English speaker like something made you laugh. But maybe it was a funny time, but this still sounds a little unnatural :-\ 'We had a good time' = 재미있었어요

Your English is really good! I know how you feel being a foreigner as I have been a 외국인 in Korea for nearly 2 years ㅋㅋ actually I like going to foreign countries and meeting Korean people because then I can shout "외국인!!" at them like they often do to me here (actually that's mostly kids but anyway...) ㅎㅎ
