Reuniting with Her
I had breakfast at a Korean restaurant. I had Korean somen noodles, and they were tastier than I expected. I took a bus around 1 pm. It was my first time taking a bus in South Korea. I headed to ICN Airport. The fare was only 25,000 KRW. I did not know that public transportation there was so unbelievably cheap. I was able to reunite with Eri without any trouble. We came back to the hotel by bus. I had asked the hotel to clean the room the previous day, but it had not been cleaned. I asked the front desk again (but, as it turned out, they still did not clean the room). Eri and I went out for dinner. We first visited the craft beer bar, but it was closed, so we went to another one. I had already visited the first alternative bar on another day, and it was decent. We then entered a pork barbecue restaurant, but their policy was ridiculous. Customers had to order at least three portions. We tried to find another restaurant that was suitable for the two of us. We eventually visited a local bar. The bar was run by a young couple, and their hospitality was wonderful. They ended up giving us five kinds of complimentary dishes, including beef tendon soup, fresh plums, grilled pork, and several other items. I asked them why they were treating us so well. They said it was because the husband was a big fan of Japan. We exchanged our names. The husband’s name was Choi Jae-woo, and his wife’s name was Song Hyun-jeong. I continued drinking in the hotel room, and we chatted until we fell asleep.

Eri and I went out to have dinner. I visited the craft beer bar but it was closed so we went to another one. First one was I already visited another day and it was acceptable. I entered another pork BBQ restaurant but their regulartion was ridicurous. Customers have to order for three people's portion. We tried to find another suitable one for us. We visited a local bar. The bar runs by young couple and their hospitality was great. They ended up offered us five kind of free dishes, beef tender simmered soup, fresh plums, grilled pork or something like that. I asked them why you treat well us too much. They said beause he is a big Japanese fun. We exchanged our name. I continued drinking at the hotel room and we chatted until fell asleep.
