| Apsan Park |
A
University friend took the train in from Busan to hang out with me yesterday!
We headed up to Apsan Park and spent a few hours hiking up the mountain. Apsan Mountain creates the Southern border of
Daegu. On the mountain are some lovely
old temples that are open for prayer. While we were taking photos of one of the
temples, a lady who seemed to work there came up to us and started asking us
questions in broken English. She wanted
to know where we were from, how long we'd been in Korea etc. From what we gathered, she not only worked at
the temple, but also lived there. She
motioned for us to sit of the steps of the temple and wait. She disappeared and returned with two small
cups of coffee! She sat on the step with us as we drank the coffee and when we
were finished, she handed me a piece of paper with her phone number on it! She
had mentioned earlier that her son was learning English and she had been very
interested in knowing what school I worked at.
I don't have a Korean phone number, so she wanted me to call her from my
school. Whether she wants to enroll her son at the school or if she wants to
hire me as an English tutor, we're not quite sure!
