Have you ever watched "Lost in Translation"? One of Sofia Coppola's magnum opus, portraying two foreigners lost in the concrete forest of Tokyo. Bill Murray is a well known global actor facing his mid-life crisis and Scarlet Johansson is a naive newlywed with her dazing quarter-life crises. They were stuck in their hotel room, try to busying themselves with local cultures, but always hindrance by its language barrier. In the end, their life was intertwined in a pub and finally finding local crews who are cosmopolite enough to socialize with them. They are crawling bars and pubs in the famous alley of Shinjuku, and finally, Murray and Johannson separate their platonic relationship when Murray back to the States. In East Asian countries like Japan, China, and Korea, being lost in translation is somehow unavoidable experiences for travelers or expatriates. That the natives are really proud of their mother tongue and the incoming need to suits that pride. In the last eight months now I learned what Murray's felt, though I don't need to be in the middle of mid-life crises. And also, I'm not staying in Tokyo but its neighboring country capital in the west, Seoul of the Republic of Korea. I'm coming to Seoul as a young retiree. I moved to this bustling city to accompany my wife's pursuit of her Ph.D. Yeah, at the age of 30 I've experienced an expensive opportunity as a full-time father for years. Then I enjoying my daily life doing chores and go to the local market is one part of it. In the early months, I do really rely on my wife's almost fluent Korean, and I'm a diligent nodding husband. I just only can ask "how much? but always hands up if the seller asking me a follow-up question. And even one day I'm asking about stuff in a quite well-established concept store in English, but when I'm asking the staff are hands up just like me pointing a gun on her. Find a way to cosmopolitan ourselves then starting to be a way to survive, then I start looking for several foreigner-friendly festivals and activities. Actually this is not a hard task to find for in Seoul, there are quite many events that the organizers need to attract foreigners to be participating. The inclusiveness for foreigners or "waegugin" are becoming one of Seoul's standard as a global city status. But when I'm attending several kinds of foreigners festive, then I found that we are clustered from the main noise of the festivities. We are separated out from the local main crowd.
