Taalla sama meno markkinoiden suhteen ja kauppojakin joka lahtoon. Ihmiset muuten puhuu huomattavasti paremmin englantia taalla kun Japanissa ja se helpottaa jo kummasti vaikka mulle on pari kertaa ravintolassa jo tullukin vaara annos..hahah..
Ja korealaiset miehet...aa-pu-va, nehan kay melkeen kiinni taalla. Silmat meinannu pudota jo yhelta jos toiselta, iasta riippumatta. Ja just asken tassa kirjotellessani mun viereiselle koneelle istu joku lahemmas 5-kymppinen mies, joka ensin tarjos sen sumppia mulle. En tajunnu mita se sano ja toistelin moneen kertaan etten haluu sen sumppia vaikka se sita kuppia mun nenan eessa heilutteli. Se rauhottu hetkeks ja sit se alko taas jotain puhumaan ja rapytteli silmiaan. Eika ollu moksiskaan vaikka Raffi istu toisella puolella. Etta kaikki sinkkuystavani, tanne vaan

! ;) hahaha... Daegu on kolmanneks isoin kaupunki Koreassa. Halusin naha yrtti-markkinat taalla ja oisin ostanukin jotain mutta kauppiaat ei puhu enkkua ja ei siis pysty tekee vaivaan kun vaivaan seoksiaan ilman et ois tulkki mukana. Harmi. Ehka Kiinasta sitten. Kaikenlaista laaketta niilta loyty kaarmeista elainten sarviin..
Tahan mennessa pahimman ruoka-annoksen oon saanu Daegussa. Tilattiin muoviruokien perusteella annokset ja poytaan tuli pienia kipoja lisukkeita ja itse ruoka-annokset. Se mun annos oli herkullisen nakonen, tulinen kastikse ja paljon kasviksia ja sellasia pienia simpukan nakosia palleroita. Maistoin yhta ja se poksahti suussa ja sielt tuli nestetta sisalta...ja se ei ollu mikaan hyvanmakunen... Se annos jai multa valiin ja aikamme tutkittua paadyttiin siihen et ne oli jonkun elaimen silmia, kalan todennakosesti..nami nami. Onneks oli niita lisukkeita :)
Se Daegusta ja kalansilmista, matka jatkuu..

Next it was Daegu we headed to. The same situation with the street vendors and markets. And we noticed, not just here, but so far everywhere in Korea people speak better English than in Japan. Well, they didnt speack English in Japan so.. :) Nevertheless I keep getting wrong portions at restaurants in here...And the Korean men, help me! Their eyes pop out whenever they see a western woman, or a man in some cases. Just as I wrote in thie cyber cafe an older guy sat on the next computer and started offering coffee to me. I didnt get what he was saying and just said no thank you and continued writing. After a while he started
to open up again and blinked his eyes...I turned to Raffi and I suppose he got the message. Luckily Im not travelling alone. So my single lady friends.. you might like it here ;D
Daegu is the third largest city in Korea. I wanted to see the famous herb-market too but it was just a street ditted with the shops and the flavors. Shops were filled with from herbs to deer antlers and snakes.Unfortunately the vendors dont speak English so mixing up a miracle herbmix for a headache would not quite work in there and I was left without herbs. Maybe in China then.
The worst experience regarding food was met in Daegu. We ordered according to the plastic portions in the window and my portion looked really good with chilli sauce and vegetables. And with the little balls that looked like mussles. After tasting one it popped ion my mouth and liquid came out of it. And it sure didnt taste like a mussle. We assume the "balls" were fish eyes or something similar. Yak!!
That's Daegu and fish eyeballs..
