Life here seems to be rather simple, Miryang is a small town, there are a bunch of restaurants but I haven't found else. I've noted three martial arts schools, but I know two of them workout from ~8-9 daily and since I get off work everyday at 8:30 or 9:30 neither work well for my schedule. I'll put on my to do list check out these places during the day but I'm not too optimistic.
Eating has been an adventure here. If I go to a restaurant I don't know any words for anything except "soup" and "rice," so what comes out is always a surprise. I had this bowl of octopus tentacles last week and I think I had breaded tripe two nights ago (not sure). I've been hoping that I'll get a vegetarian meal one of these days, but it doesn't seem popular here.
Tomorrow should be fun, I'm finally going to get a phone (in theory), and I'll be taking a medical exam to get my alien resident card. I've taken the train 3 or 4 times now and I truly love the landscape: winding valleys, bridges of all different sizes, going over rivers, steep green slopes rolling by and by. Someone said the weather like New York (or probably somewhere a bit warmer) so I'll get all four season here: hot soon, then red, then barren, then green again!
TENTACLE SOUP. O.o
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to see you explore the country. I'll bet every one in the Busan area knows who you are by now. There couldn't be anyone else who looks like you within a 100 mile radius. If I get the money, I'll come see you.
