“Man Booked for Trying to Talk to Foreigners”
This news comes from the Korea Times, but I’m sure that those of you in Japan who have been approached by drunk English conversation enthusiasts will find this story amusing:
A 71-year-old man was booked for hitting a restaurant staff member who was trying to stop him from talking to a foreigner at the establishment, police have said.
Seoul Gangseo Police on Saturday apprehended a man identified as Lee for beating a 60 year-old identified as Jeong at a restaurant in Naebalsan-dong in western Seoul last Friday. Lee was reportedly trying to approach two Scottish men who were eating at the premises while Jeong attempted to restrain him.
Lee was said to be drunk and told police that he was simply trying to “learn English from the foreigners.”

I hope they were Glaswegians. If they were, the arrest would almost have been a kindness.
