Briefly underground
A short stroll around Chungjangno
Warnings were given, since I am on about 45,000 steps for the day, this evenings stroll was short, and there are no photos of interest.
So lets do the news.
On the back of Trump losing the presidency, the republicans did so badly in whatever the mid terms are, that Trump has decided he is running again.
The Ukraine killed some people in Poland by launching a missile at their NATO ally during the G20 summit.
NASA finally launched their rocket designed in 1960 by escaped Nazis to the moon.
That is all. Tomorrow is NOT a hiking day. It is probably a washing day.
As the title suggests, I briefly descended into the underground. It is about a kilometre long, which is short by Korean standards. Old, but most of the shops had something in them, even if it was just piles of shoes.
Next I found an area with more art cafes than even the other areas full of art cafes seemed to have.
OK so that explains why the street is full of art cafes.
And if you are doing art, you will need an art supplies street. Gwangju delivers.
My dinner was suitably Korean. It is a bit more varied than the photo suggests, under the stuff on top is many kinds of mushrooms.
Also I drank the soup and mixed the side dishes into the main bowl, and so the guy immediately filled both up again.
No matter what, in Korea, every meal will waste some food. Every person gets up from the table leaving side dishes un-eaten. This place is not so bad as they only give you 2 types of fermented vegetables, but there are plenty of places that give you 8 or more side dishes, and no one eats them all.
Short update was short.
