Living in Korea! Part 1.
Jun-Seo ; Living in Korea
Jun-Seo‘s favorite place in Korea is Mokpo(목포) because of the people who were friendly to him during his visit. When he first came to Korea, his Korean wasn't as fluent as it is now, and he had some language problems. At his homestay he tried to turn on the TV but somehow he couldn't. It turned out to be a simple problem but he remembers at the time he felt that wished he had someone who could help him out. If only I knew BBB then" saidJun-Seo. He says he is getting along quite well with the Korean life these days. Sometimes, he has a hard time when he feels the prejudice against westerner s in Korea, but at the same time, he loves the 'Jung'(warm-heartedness) that he feels from the Koreans.
Other Exotic Places in Seoul
Places to eat Korean Speciality, Sun-dae (Sausage made of Bean curd, mung- bean sprouts and pig's blood stuffed in pig intestine). Actually Shinrimdong is one of the most popular place to eat sun-dae. There are plenty of Sun-dae restaurants in Shinrimdong, so people called as Sundae town. So once you get there, how can you order food. You can choose either red sun-dae or white sun-dae as you see in the photo. There is big fry pan with sun-dae, noodles and chopped vegetables. Then the server will help you cook the sun-dae. When it's cooked just right, you are ready to eat the delicious sun-dae.
A 'BBB' Experience
In order to promote the useful services of BBB, we underwent a BBB experienc e with Jun-Seo. While we were visiting the Sun-dae town, Jun-Seo acted as a foreigner who was having trouble ordering in Korean. Sun-dae town is a low key restaurant. English or any other foreign languages might not be freely spoken there, and you may have some difficulties in ordering your food. In situations like this or any other place where you, a foreigner who might have problems in communicating, BBB can be very useful. You just have to press '1588-5644', and you are instantly connected to a BBB volunteer member. In Jun-Seo‘s situation the volunteer kindly explained about the different menus and helped him choose what he wanted. By translati ng both sides of the conversation efficiently, the result was a very satisfied customer and owner.
