In my old 'hood, I had my favourite convenience store owner, Don. I affectionately called him, Jackie Chan. Since he looked like Bob Dylan. Just kidding! (He seriously did look like Jackie Chan - I had others verify - and he did give me approval to call him Jackie Chan, he thought it was cool). Anyway, when I moved here, I met the new convenience store owner, he was alright. However, today I found out - he sold the place - and there's a new owner! Chris.
Chris is the new Don. He's so nice!
He's only been in Canada for a year. He was working at another store within a condo before this one - but it was only groceries. He's excited to take over this one.
We exchanged names and then he confessed that he wouldn't remember mine because it's not used in Korea. So, I told him that if I could call him by his English name, he could call me by a Korean name. I've renamed myself, for Chris, as Yoon. And he agreed, I am the only white Yoon he knows.
Welcome to the 'hood Chris!
