Day 3.

Today, I went to the nearby Gwangjang Market to have breakfast.

About a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

It was only about 10 o'clock, but it was already crowded with tourists.

First, I headed to a very famous donut shop here, but it didn't open until 11:00,

so I went into a nearby mung bean pancake shop and ordered pancake and drug kimbap (seaweed roll).

It was delicious, just like regular okonomiyaki. The kimbap was okay, I guess.

The raw onions that came with it added a nice accent.

When I went to the donut shop around 10:40, there was already quite a long line.

It was spilling out onto the road, so a staff member guided me.

There was a tall middle-aged man in front of me in line, and he said something like, "I want to take a look at the shops on the street, so can you save me a spot?", so I replied, "OK, don't worry."

When she came back after a while, she said "Thank you" in Japanese and asked "Honeymoon?" I thought that couldn't be the case, but I replied "NO, NO, my daughter!" She was surprised and laughed, and we started talking while we were waiting because we both had time.

That being said, I only understood broken Korean, and we were talking with a bit of junior high school English, but halfway through, she kept repeating "Hawaii". At first, it was so abrupt that I didn't understand what she was saying, and I wondered if the name of the donut shop was "Hawaii", but it seemed to be Hawaii in the United States, and she said she lives there.

After a while, the man's wife came back. She was walking around the area in the typical flashy pink Korean hiking style.

Her husband introduced us, and the woman spoke to us in good Japanese. She seems to have studied Japanese in the past and is quite good. She said that she hadn't spoken for many years, so her pronunciation was very good, and she normally replied to our conversation in Japanese.

From here on, I speak mostly in Japanese, but it seems that they are a Korean couple, but they have homes in the US, Hawaii, Vietnam, and Korea, and they fly around regularly for work. They are currently in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I'm sorry, but at first glance they look like just an ordinary man and woman, but I think they are probably company presidents. They get excited when I say "Oh, Worldwide!".

They like the donuts here, and when they come back to Korea, they come here to buy some.

As we were talking, the line got longer and longer, and there were already about 100 people lined up on the sidewalk.

Finally, it was our turn, and we communicated by saying "chapsal tüge (2 donuts)" and "pat tüge (2 red bean paste donuts)."

A twisted donut costs 1000w, and one with red bean paste costs 1500w.

It was a short exchange, but we took commemorative photos and parted ways.

The hot twisted doughnuts were not too sweet and had a nice cinnamon flavor, and the bean paste was chewy and delicious.

It's no wonder there's a line. My daughter also said it was the best food of the trip, and she regretted not buying three more.

From here, we took the subway to Gwangnaru Station to head to Walkahill.

From Gwangnaru Station, we took a shuttle bus to the casino.

We showed the coupon at the reception and had my daughter's member card issued.

I thought we would get a 100,000won lucky coupon at this point, but we didn't get one, so we asked about it, and they explained that we could get one at the kiosk by playing a game.

There were quite a few people inside. In the VIP venue next door, a tournament for Japanese people was being held.

I wasn't sure how many games I had to play to get a coupon, but I tried out the slot machines and live machines, and I think that if you bet a total of 200,000 W, you accumulate 1000 points, and at that point you get a lucky coupon worth 100,000 W.

I had spent about 20,000 W before I got the lucky coupon, but it was successfully issued at the kiosk.

My daughter bet on red on the roulette, but it didn't bounce much and ended up on black.

With that, there was no reason to stay in Walker Hill, so we headed to COEX from here.
