Christopher TS #4

Do Jun and I had our fourth tutoring session on 01/23. As promised, he was at his parents' house in Busan. We talked a lot about flying given that he had taken an airplane home to see his family. I asked him what airport culture was like in Korea and he had a lot to say about the matter. We discussed the differences in airport security, me complaining that TSA agents are so rude and him complaining that Korean travelers are rude. We did conclude that it is a tough job, that of the traveler and security agent and that we should all be friendlier to each other. He talked to me about how when he was in Seattle his fellow travelers were non-problematic when there was a flight delay announced. That shocked him to his core because he has distinct memories of people in Korea getting extremely agitated to that sort of news. I told him that it might be a thing of the West because I most certainly have witnessed angry customers in American airports. This lead me to theorize it was because people are more Hippie-esque over in those parts. This lead me to explain what a hippie was and to describe American culture in the 1970s. I gave him a homework assignment that is made up of him listening to Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. I hope he did!
