Tyler Lee CP#2 Do-Jun

I spoke with Do-Jun at 9AM which is 10PM in Seoul, something that was very interesting to me.  While I was sipping on my morning coffee, Do-Jun was winding down from his day hanging out with his girlfriend and doing chores around the house that he doesn't usually have time to do during the week. Do-Jun is very friendly and his English is very good, though he denied it when I mentioned it to him in true Korean fashion. I learned that Do-Jun works in aviation at an airline company that services Korea, Japan, China, and a few other locations in Asia, and that he has to communicate with some of these people in English from time to time since it is their only shared language, something I also found very intriguing. We spent a good amount of time comparing and contrasting each other's cultures, and Do-jun was particularly interested in travel and sports, and I found out that he really enjoys baseball and soccer.  I was surprised to find out that he was 38 years old, just as he was surprised that my last name was Lee; I told him that he would have his youth into his old age, and he said that I may have that luck too if I could find my Korean family. I think it would be fun to spend time with Do-jun and it's unfortunate that we cannot be in the same location to chat and have a drink, but I enjoyed my conversation with him.
