They are just kids...

BUSAN, South Korea: Children all over the world are just the same: they are curious to new things and even to strangers. Perhaps they have never heard of the old saying: never talk to strangers.

A group of Indonesian journalists were taking the subway to cover the beach volleyball on Haeundae beach when a large number of school children rushed in to one of the subway cars and surrounded a journalist from Koran Tempo Sapto Yunus, leaving him defenseless as many questions were launched by the kids.

"Some of them asked me if they could exchange Korean coins with Indonesian ones," said Sapto while airing his surprise that the kids spoke English quite well.--JP
