THROUGH THE BROWN EYES OF A CANADIAN-KOREAN WOMAN

Some people like to say “who knows what?!” And I know for sure that a close friend of mine loves to say that. As if it’s a set phrase for everything. “Who knows what life will bring you”, “who knows what will happen next?”, “Who knows?” etc etc. I think I was always the one who said in reply “God knows.” Yeap.
