Go to a Local Korean Restaurant

I woke up around 2 am but could not fall back asleep. Around 5 am, I felt hungry, so I went out to a restaurant I found on Google Maps. It was supposed to open at 5 am, but it was closed. I tried to find another suitable one and walked for 30 or 40 minutes. In the end, I gave up and bought a rice ball and instant udon noodles at a convenience store. While walking, I ate the rice ball, and I had the instant udon noodles in my hotel room. After that, I went back to sleep. I woke up just after 1 pm and quickly completed my daily routines because a room keeper was scheduled to come around 3 pm. I went out before 3 pm and visited a cafe. I continued my daily routines, such as writing in my diary. I walked around to find a restaurant and found a suitable one. It had a nice atmosphere. I ordered just kimchi, although I received kimchi jjigae combo instead. I had no complaints about it. The cost was only 16,000 KRW (1,735 JPY). I returned to the hotel. I wanted to take a hot bath, but the shower temperature was too low. I asked the front staff about the problem. They said, “Please wait for five minutes.” However, they did not come after more than 30 minutes. Strangely, the shower temperature went up on its own. I soaked in the hot bath for over an hour. My mind was full of anxiety about my tooth. I fell asleep around 2 am.
