[Part 1] 59. A rainy day in Ulsan

Woke up at 7am to join the guys at the stadium for their soccer training but it was raining heavily so I lazed around in my room before finally deciding to join them at 8am. I really hate walking to the stadium. It’s sooooo far away and I hate the slopes. By the time I reached the stadium after walking forever, I only managed to watch the last 20 minutes of their training.

In the late morning, I left for Ulsan and spent my afternoon studying in a pretty lovely cafe that isn’t part of a cafe chain so it was quite a refreshing change. The service at the cafe was pretty good too.
2 ajusshis came in and talked really loudly in their Gyeongsan dialect. One of them seemed pretty grumpy and seemed like he was starting some verbal war with his poor friend so one of the cafe staff quickly came over to me and asked me to move into the study area which was quieter for me to study in. How nice of her! Which cafe staff will tell you this in Singapore? They don’t even want you to be studying in their cafe in the first place. She even topped up the water for my yuzu tea.
I love the cafes here in Korea. Most of them are split into 2 sections: one for gatherings and another for studying/reading. There was even a meeting room in the cafe which can be reserved for functions. I expect to be back here quite often.

I was going to write something else -.-

Moved into the study area

Completed the listening test paper for TOPIK #23

In the evening, I got driven around Ulsan and even passed by a shipyard too. Unfortunately, construction was halted for the night and I couldn’t see much too because of the rain. There are many lovely cafes by the sea too. I definitely have to go back there during the day and on a non-rainy day.

Later on in the night, I went to Megabox to catch 용의자 X which was entirely in Korean with no subtitles but I managed to understand most of it :)

I spent the night in the jjimjilbang again. Really can’t stand the ajusshis who snore so loudly :(
