From Daejeon

I was travelling around Korea from Tuesday, and now I'm in Daejeon the 4th biggest city in South Korea. I think I'll be back to Seoul today (Friday).

It was a sort of hard trip, only 2 nights of traveling but now i'm dead tired already. Not so hard schedule, but travelling with friends is really much tough thing than travelling alone. Maybe I'm getting cold now, too.

But, hmm, I found out it's quite a fun to travel with friends! I wish if I had a girlfriend to travel together:-)

Ugh, this PC-ban is filled with smokers... My throat ache is getting worse. Korean people smokes lot, and spits a lot:-(

I don't know that there is an Indian restaurant here or not... I will try some in Seoul and report for you. See you later.

大田(Daejeon)では、友達にとても素敵なカフェに連れて行ってもらいました。珈琲豆の種類などが選べて、日本式の喫茶店メニューにかなり近いのだ。ただしMega Strongブレンドを選んでも、それほど濃くなかったのは韓国だからかな。(韓国の珈琲はうすい。スタバですら薄めの豆を選んで出してる。自販機珈琲が一番気に入ってるのは内緒...)そのうち住所とかわかったらArticleにします。

やっぱり強行軍で風邪を引いてしまったですよ。この年になって雑魚寝はつらいかなーと思ったけど、案の定でございます。あと韓国人の旅行プランはかなり強行軍かつ無鉄砲なので、旅行するときはあまり韓国人に任せきらないほうが良いでしょう。韓国人の旅行観はインド人より強烈だとおもいました。

ついでにバスを待っている間に、韓国風の喫茶店タバンに入ってみました(ソウルには殆ど存在しないのだ)。女の子が接客してくれるという噂がありましたが、ふつうのおばちゃんがいてアイス珈琲を飲みました。西瓜をだしてくれた。ただ値段が高め(4000won)なので、夜は女の子がいるんじゃないかなー。誰か韓国の田舎にいったら挑戦してみてください。(ちなみに釜山のタバンはただの売春宿なので間違えないこと)

さらについでにいうと、うちの近所にはcafeといいながら夜遅くまでやっている店が多数あって、入り口とかがスナック風なのだ。なんだか怪しくて興味を引かれるのだけど、ちょっと突入する勇気がもてません。そのうちに。

韓国の喫茶店はみんなソファがでかくて気分いいですよね。

Hey YOU! you wrote this when you were sitting right next to me, huh? haha that WAS a gross smelling, too much smokin'/spittin' place. eek.

i'm SO sorry you caught a cold tho'. :( and couldn't sleep that night. I felt so terrible for you...(even tho' i was seriously a zombie when i saw you out there!) and I"m sorry i couldn't see you off.

I'm glad we got to go to that cafe tho'. That's seriously the one best thing about Daejeon... :)

I wonder how often people in other country spit. Being a Korean, I think most Korean don't hate watching others spitting. Probably we are accustomed to it. I think spitting is not different with raining. ^^;
