I am just wondering about an encounter i had in korea ?
So i was visiting south korea for travel/ leisure 2 years ago . For context i am indian . Seoul was super beautiful and nice but i liked Busan even more . One of these nights i got lost in busan as i dint know korean and all the blocks looked the same . So i got tired and sat on a bench on a side walk next to a 7 11 and started smoking a cigarette . A few minutes go by and this guy maybe in his 40s-50s came up to me and started talking to me .. offered me a cigarette as well . He asked me if i was alone and where i am from . He was on a bicycle . He told me that he lived nearby and if i wanted to come to his house . We might have barely talked for like 2 minutes . Now if this was in india i would totally understand because indian people will always invite you home . But i got flustered and told him no and thanks . What do you think would have happened if i went along with him? It has always been one of my ‘what ifs?’ Is it common for korean people to invite strangers home? Btw i absolutely loved south korea . I hope i get to go back soon .
