A sad day

Went to Kung Fu tonight, was a bit of an experience.
Walked up to the place and got harassed by Korean school girls.
"Hello" "Hello"
"Hi" "Hi"
"Handsome boy"
Anyway, that's nothing that new.
It was funny, however, 5 minutes later when they walked into my dojo.
Turns out a couple of them train there. Luckily they got bored pretty quickly.
I'm in a new training centre at the moment, a Hapkido place and it's been awhile since people have been so fascinated by my skin colour.
Anyway to the sad story, as I've already alluded to.
The Kung Fu gym is no, found out last Thursday the master lost a legal battle with the landlord and must be out by this Thursday.
It's a sad day, so for a little while we're training at the Hapkido gym next door, just keeping out of the classes' way.
The master is looking for a new one.
Went to see the master at the old gym today after training. It was kinda depressing, boxes everywhere, and instead of an eclectic playlist of 60's pop, 90's pop and Korean rock, there are these absolutely painfully sad Korean ballads, and the master is just plain in the dumps.
He gave me a training uniform and a pair of his old training gloves as a gift.
It was not a fun experience to see him like that, but I'm sure he'll find a new place soon
