A few times a week I grab lunch at a Kimbap Nara restaurant near home. For 3,000 Won (3USD) I can get kimchi jiggae, a plate of rabboggie or bowl of ice noodles.
This said, there are few frills. The bathroom looks like this:
Most days I'm not at all concerned
about the lack of toilet paper or the general cleanliness...
View out the restaurant window, where I sat on a stool: a woman dressed in Hanbok, walking past construction on her way to a wedding.
A man and his little girl:
I just figured out what raboggie is.
ReplyDeleteHey Eva, do you eat as a "team" in your 학원 for lunch? I'm curious to find out as I'm assuming there is a mix of Korean and Western teachers there. Since I am in a Western company here in Korea, it's a bit odd. Not exactly Western, not exactly Korean. Cheers!

ReplyDeleteHey Jane, no. I don't work over the lunch hour.
ReplyDeleteThe only other foreigners at my hagwon are 2 guys who live together. They're from South Africa and we didn't really click, so we eat dinner together only if there's a work meeting.
But I think the Korean receptionists and management order food over lunch.
I love it , anonymous! thanks!!
ReplyDeleteOhhh...the washrooms are the same as in Japan! Well, they do have "Western" toilets too, but I've seen the ones you've got posted too. Personally, I tended to opt for the "Western" toilets if I had a choice. Oh, and I always made sure to carry packets of tissue paper/kleenex with me! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love how your blog really captures your slice of Korea. It's really neat.
do the cooks also go without toilet paper and soap? it's funny how feet/shoes are considered dirty but what about hands?
