Funny Story

The weather this week has been beautiful! I think it hit 70 today. Because the spring-like weather put me in a mood to exercise, I decided to ride my bike to the pool. I had a nice swim and then walked my bike (I got a flat tire :( ) back...like my own mini-triathalon. hehe. Anyway, that's not the funny part. Today at school one of my fellow teacher friends asked if I went to the pool last night. I hadn't seen him there, so I was quite confused. I guess one of his Korean swim friends was there and had this to say via text message:

today very amazing in pool - white woman are very well swim;

3:21 PM white woman..very .... good swimer..al the people stand and cheer loudly;;

  (my friend asked why - he said)

  why cheer? because, Caucasian woman! very swim player! very amazing  

HAHAHAHA! This cracks me up (and the broken English makes it even better)! I didn't even know this was happening! I saw a team chanting and I thought they were stretching or something, but apparently they were cheering for me. lol. As I was swimming yesterday I remember thinking I really liked swimming in Korea because everyone is pretty good...I didn't have to pass anybody and nobody passed me. But apparently I was amazing, and they were all quite surprised. hehe. Anyway, it totally made my day. I feel so cool. :-P
