Korean shawarma — the diet version 😅

Inside the thin rice wrap: carrots, cabbage, chicken, crab sticks, and lettuce… Cheese sauce is poured on top, and there’s cheese sauce inside too… Very tasty!!!

Good morning :)

It feels so fresh outside after the rain… I decided to walk to a café and get some work done in a cozy atmosphere… The aroma of hot French tea, calm and soothing music, and a dog greeting me at the entrance, wagging its tail and happily shuffling its paws 😌

They also treated me to a cookie at the café… 🤗

I was out for a walk and stopped by a café… I bought one tea, and they gave me another one for free… They said, “No need money…” That was nice 😌

A lot of cafés have a second floor… It’s cozy up there :)

I bought a ticket to some movie… I have no idea which one 😅 The screening starts in 14 minutes.

In the restroom, I mistook the mouthwash for soap 😂 I was wondering why it was not lathering properly… And why anyone would make soap mint-flavoured…

Then I noticed some paper cups beside the “soap dispenser”… Was I supposed to pour it into one of them and take it to my sink? 🙄

The soap was right next to it, in the neighbouring tap 😅

Kindergarten 😊

They are well equipped both outside and inside. The teachers are young women with the appropriate professional education. Special buses bring the children to kindergarten and take them home. The monthly cost is about $300 per child. This is not expensive for Koreans, considering that an average family earns around $7,000.

P.S. I’m at LOTTE MART now :) I reached it while walking around and exploring the city… At the moment, I’m sitting inside a cinema auditorium. The Wi-Fi here is free and very fast.

It really is just around the corner from my house 😅 A dog lured me into this café 🙄 I was walking past when she ran up to me and asked to be petted… I stroked her once, and she started pressing her face and paws against me… And wagging her tail… Ah, how could I resist? 🙄

I went into the café and ordered iced tea and a cheese bagel.

This is a Korean university in Ansan. I did not manage to explore all of it because it is very large, with parks and big buildings.

As it turns out, Koreans are not as short as I thought. The average height of a Korean man is 173–176 cm, while for women it is 166–172 cm. However, men who are 185 cm or taller and women who are 175 cm or taller are also often seen. There are Chinese people here too, and the difference is noticeable in their height — they are about a head shorter than Koreans.

I’m sitting in a café called Coffee Planet, located near the university campus. There are lots of students here. A couple sitting to my left are playing chess, while two students by the window are using their laptops.

The cake is delicious! The atmosphere is pleasant… It feels fresh and smells wonderful… A nice, soft breeze is coming through the window… You can see green trees outside.

I only tried the one with fish, and I’ll leave the rest for next time :) It was very tasty! It cost about 100 rubles, including broth and spices! 🤗
