No more sausage.
It never surprises me when I come to Korea that everything changes. It seems like an obvious and blatant observation but all the stores which I came accustomed to, no longer exist or have changed to a Western branded store which is the flavour of the month.
The other day, we went shopping to Dongdaemun and were walking in freezing my balls off weather. Me being the ignorant foreigner, I didn't dress warmly enough only to have been given an Australia jacket that I ironically bought him from Australia. So we walked by this street store which amassed around 15 people in a line. Through the gaps between heads, I was able to see that it was a store called, "Mr Wow". Mr Wow was now synonymous to sausages with buns. I felt a sense of pride that the Australian Saturday bbq had now infiltrated the delicacies of Korea. I chuckled to myself knowing that their bbq was a mere remance of our bbq's back in Australia but not the real deal. But the Koreas flocked like fly to crap to get a taste of this.
David was now convinced that he wanted one so he ran back to get into the line, only to be greeted by a skinny chap letting him know that he had run out of sausages. WHAT THE HELL? You ran out of sausages? Does KFC run out of chicken? Does Maccas run out of burgers. What a serial killer this guy was. Man...the look of Dave's face was one which would make his mother cry.
Now the adventures of Korea draw to a near as we face the Haggis eating Scots.
