It's been 4 months since I started to live in Korea. Recently, I made an aquaintance with few coffee shops in downtown Daegu. The reasons of me getting aquainted with the coffee shops are simple. Every coffee shop has few things in common. All the coffee shops have menues written in both English and Korean, nice atmosphere and very cheap. It feels comfortable to stay long, so I go there either by myself, with hiroro or with friends. It is unordinary for both men and women to go to coffee shops alone in Korea. So many times, waiters and waitresses remember me because I go to coffee shops alone. Usually since Japanese and Korean looks very similar physically, I'm usually spoken to in Korean. When I start speaking very unconfident Korean, then they recognize me as a foreigner. So that's how the coffee shops remember me, as a foreigner who sometimes comes alone. But recently when I go out for a cup of coffee, sometimes the waiters and waiteresses talk to me about weathers and have I got used to living in Korea and etc. When you live abroad, you don't know anyone. So it's really nice to have someone just give you a friendly chat every once in a while.
