Daegu - Day 5
September 26, 2005
Haven't tried this place yet.
I have no idea what this place is, but it looks freaky.
This is a restaurant. Koreans have indians too?
Korean women playing ping pong.
My walking continued the furthest North of my
apartments so far. I felt just like the explorers of old did
I'm sure. Especially when I found a Popeye's Chicken and
Burger King! I wonder if I should take some of my findings
back to the Queen? Nah...I'll just bring her some tea.
Everywhere I walk, I just find more & more side streets with shops
and restaurants. Every side street I walk down has another
side street with more shops...and so on, and so on. It's
pretty nuts how many are here.
I wandered into a basement where I found Korean
women playing ping pong. They all whipped their heads around
and stared at me staring at them. So, of course, I took a
picture. I made my way home walking about 5 miles or so total
and on the way back got some Popeye's to go. I thought I'd be
all cool and order from the pictures on the wall, but I couldn't
figure out which was the 3 piece chicken meal. The waitress
saw me struggling with basic pictures and handed me a menu in
English! Nice work! I ordered my grub and split.
They put tape on top of the drink lid if it's a to go order. I
assume because a lot of people are on scooters or other vehicles
that are bumpy.
What I learned
today about Korea: 1) There's a Popeye's and Burger King
close to my apartment. 2) They don't use addresses like we do
in USA. They just use major intersections or landmarks to get
from place to place.
