I had to get out of the apt! I spent all day lounging around yesterday, and I had to do something today! So, I met up with Lauren, who is back from Singapore, around 1:30PM. We met downtown.
Ok, I'm pathetic. I have lived in Wonju for....5 months...6 months, and I didn't know how to use the bus. Until now! I just never had the need to, but I thought it was about time. I was going to walk out to a bus stop across from my apt building, but if that didn't work, I was going to walk to one about 5 minutes away. I don't really understand the one across the street; it rarely has buses coming to and from it. While walking across the street, Brian jumped out and scared me to death. Brian is a Korean friend from the Wonju English Club. He told me that I needed to go to the one down the street and what numbers I could take. So, I got on one of the buses, and....well...just looked around until something seemed familiar. I finally heard jungang shichang and got off. Apparently there are TWO bus stops in the area and the roads are labeled ABC. I was on C and Lauren gets dropped off at A. BUT get this! I get dropped off at C, but get on at A. Lauren gets dropped off at A, but gets on at C. So strange. Well, Lauren came to rescue me since I wasn't familiar with that part of downtown. She figured out the bus system about a month ago and then she kind of took that time to scold me for not already knowing. We went to eat kalguksu and to catch up. We got into a little bit of an argument at one point in our conversation when I felt like she was judging me. That was undeniably frustrating! Luckily we quickly moved past it and continued on with a different direction of conversation.
We headed to a cafe that we have been to many times; Time and Space cafe near the old traditional style meeting area., Kangwan Kamyeon (sp?). We talked about about 6:00PM, and then I headed home for dinner.
The rest of the night was pretty relaxing!^^
