MooMoo noticed that when you speak a little Korean, the Korean seem to be happier and friendlier to you, even if you speak the slightest, simple "Annyeong Haseyo!" or "Kamsahamnida!" It would be even greater if you are able to read some of the Lego Blocks but MooMoo finds that it is not that easy to pick up the Art of the Lego Blocks. MooMoo is quite interested to pick up Korean, when she is free, which is like dunno when. Hahaha.
* MooMoo is always mistaken as Korean... maybe due to her BIG face and small eyes. Hahaha!!! The Koreans always start speaking to MooMoo in Korean till MooMoo give them the BLUR look, then thy will suddenly say sorry and kept quiet. Funny...
