Photographical Montage, in a non-montagial form. Pt 3. Mike, Chulsung.

I posted this photo because Michael (Mike, Mikey, Yoo etc) really liked this photo when I took it. So I thought that he might enjoy it if I put it on my blog. I've already briefly mentioned him before in maybe.. two of my posts. Guess it's because he had such a big inpact on me. Probably my best lesson teacher during the whole program. I would call him 'sensei' :P but I think it wouldn't be personal enough. We are family. He is my Korean brother. During AYEPO, he taught me the value of trying to understand, even if you couldn't. He punched me in the arm every morning, just to check if I was alive and kicking. He would make fun of me everytime I dropped food from my chopsticks. I would find different languages to call him old in, even though he insisted that he was a '19 years old boy'. I did the math Mike. You are old. You know though, I don't care if he is old. He doesn't act old. He doesn't look old. He doesn't listen to old music. Well, not really old music. But ANYWAY, this is beside the point. Again. I'm very good at getting beside the point.
This man taught me a lot of things. He's taught me that names are not important. He's taught me to ALWAYS be camera shy, as he knows how to get a bad photo of you. He has taught me the need to speak up, even if you are a little afraid. The smallest can have the largest mouths. Even if you are quiet, you can learn not to show it. He did. And he was the quietest of all.
My big bear of a brother.
