At the tea time that was two weeks ago, my conversation partner Minsuk and I played a game of Scrabble. I won that time, even though he had help from his Korean comrades at the end. Today, he was very determined to beat me and was doing all he could to form triple and double letter pointed words. Today we also had David join our game, and even though David took really long turns, especially in forming words, we all had a good time. Minsuk and I were having a bit of cowboy stare-down competitions because while we were waiting for David to take his turn, the both of us would be staring at the board and glancing up at each other, really hoping that we didn't share the same spot in mid for our words. It seemed that every time there was a slot for a word to be formed from an "a" or "e", he and I would both have our eyes on it. Minsuk's vocabulary range is very broad, which makes it fun to play, but I still won. :)  I think that is going to be our new tradition, to play Scrabble until he beats me. The other thing about Minsuk is that he also picks up the rules very fast. David was having a bit of trouble understanding that you couldn't put letter tiles between separate words unless they came together to form a single word, but Minsuk was the one that explained the rules very clearly to him.
