Another travel day and you know what that means, a new room! But it comes at the end. We started the day in Gyeongju where we have been for the last 3 nights mainly looking at archeological sites. We will move to Gangneung which is really the “furthest off the beaten path” of any place we have been to. It is on the east coast. It is mainly a beach town. It hosted a lot of venues in the Winter 2018 Olympics.
She had asked me a couple days ago when I was going to the super market, to check out the Banana situation. I reported that there were tons but they were green. So the next day Kim returned to the supermarket, selected 3 and went to pay. The cashier was livid! She closed her station and took kim forceable by the arm back to the bananas and made it clear that well behaved shoppers pick a BUNCH, they do not take individual bananas from several different bunches. Thus, Kim arrived home with the above weeks supply!
It seems that she was happily picking out a few different choice items, took them to the register and again had to be taken aside for remedical shopping instruction. You do not pick out the items yourself, the clerk does the selecting. If you pick so few, as was the case with Kim, you are punished by not being allowed to use your credit card but instead have to pay cash. Kim came out to get more cash from me but I had no idea of the back story.
Ok, back to the Bus rides. First we travel from Gyeongji to a bigger city on the coast, Pohang. It is a shorft bus ride of less than an hour and the busses leave every 20 minutes. We arrive there and buy our ticket for the next 3+ hour leg to Gangneung.
Kim is working on activities for her tomorrow. I am liable to take it easy and not go off on another adventure.
