The bright lights blurred my vision






So I decided to venture out of my town of wau-ri and take my first bus ride to my nearest town Suwon. I boarded nervously, as what will this journey be like, was I even on right bus. However the bus guy assured me that he was going to Suwon. Ok i thought, just sit down and enjoy the ride, even though I was not sure about this!! Hence my vision was not so clear bit off a blur, i blame the lights, hehe.


Twenty minutes later I arrive in Suwon. Yep its a city alright. Busy busy busy.














However you people who like your food, well there is so much to choose from, and you can eat either from the street, or at a restaurant.




So my first sign in English I saw today well what you think?,yep you guest it McDonald's followed by burger king, how annoying is that. The food is so good here, why the heck they got this crap junk food, I never know. Yet one western sign I did see did remind me of my good friend Anna. This for you girl



So I went down most of the streets, problem with a city you think you are missing out. Plus as there so much you don't know what you want, this was me about choosing were to eat.I thought, well i get a nice dish with meat and veg cook Korean style. Now I knew what I wanted so I ventured in and Said "ju se yo" and pointed to the photo of the dish which was on the wall. He was like, "sorry that for two( in English). OK can i see the English menu,which had 5 dishes on them. However to my shock( my first real frustration about to come), I was told Only 1 dish is available for one person. Well it be rude to leave, so i was like OK i will have the hot and spicy noddle soup. Oh well,l no meat this time. Soup arrives and it spicy, yet does hot mean ice cold in Korea. As my soup was cold it even had ice in it. This a first for me, cold soup what was my crime. Yet as a good traveler i smiled and ate it. Had good chat today with friend and we commented on how this nation not driven by self, as community is really strong idea I have seen in Korea.But no one is perfect, as my dinner encounter made me think do they cater for a person on there own. Just a thought.


Well after my cold soup, I was like I miss my little town of wau-ri. There's not as much choice .so you can think clearly and appriate want ever you have. Maybe thats the problem too much choice and you expect alot in return. I wander what i woul have been like if i got cold soup in Wau-ri?
