Professor Cho Choong-keun, a graduate of Gwangju Jeil High School and the Korea Military Academy, has lived a colorful life that includes studying abroad in the United States. Nowadays, he resides in Gimhae. Having learned through Facebook that a "Cheringarden" chicken restaurant was opening in Busan, he came by to offer his encouragement and congratulations. He visited with his wife and their young daughter for a trip. Knowing my fondness for plants, he touched me deeply by gifting me an orchid pot.
I generally hold a deep respect for those from military academies who work for our nation. Hearing that he was coming today, I prepared two bottles of precious Egyptian wine in advance. Since his wife loves citron tea, I also gave her a bottle of it. Knowing what young girls like, I gave Yunbi a hand towel featuring a cat picture that I had prepared beforehand. Yunbi liked it very much, which put me in a good mood as well. Seeing happy people makes me happy right along with them.
