Earlier this morn, in preparation for my rapidly approaching trip home, I trekked over the my local K*B (name of my bank) to turn Korean money to dollaz (with a Z). While the bank teller was crunching the numbers he struck up a random conversation about New York after he saw my passport. This lead to talk of baseball and the Yankees. I explained to him that I did not like the Yankees, instead prefering the Mets, which prompted him to give the same response anyone (aside from other Mets fans) have when I tell them I like the Mets, “Why?”
I explained to him that like gender one gets their sports teams from their father…my dad is a Mets fan hence I am a Mets fan. Anyhow I was doing well in this conversation until he started talking about mutual funds and finance. I quickly realized that aside from words for deposit, withdraw, and exchange I know nothing of financial vocabulary…then again I don’t really know any of the terms in English either.
