Security Guards
I think I've talked about our security guards before. They are men who wear security guard jackets (much like bomber jackets). They are older, probably 60-70. They do a number of things, such as:a) sit at the front desk and watch people come in and out.
b) sit at the parking garage booth and watch people go in and out.
c) lock the back door at midnight
d) keep and distribute packages that come in the mail.
e) one guard who speaks some English sometimes calls our apartment phone to say "package" to get us to come downstairs and retrieve it.
They are so cute to us. Often when we come in or out of the building they will see us and say our apartment number very loud. This usually means we have a package. So we sign on the paper and write the time, and follow them to the back closet. They give us our package and we bow a little and say "Kamsa hamnida!" It's fun that they know us and know our apartment number. This is probably due to the fact that we got quite a few packages over the holidays (thanks!!)
Last night we came home from work and we were waiting for the elevator. It came down to the bottom level. A large group piled out, with one of the last people being one of the guards. He came out, bowed his head a little, threw out his hands and said "Welcome to Korea!!" It was so cute!! We laughed really loud, and I think he was proud of himself for making us laugh. Stephanie said that earlier in the morning she left for work and he said "Have a happy every day!!"
Someday I'm gonna get a picture of these guys.
