When I devoted myself to the pamphlet offered from the front desk as a map, which was extremely simplified and was not useful as a map, a young woman addressed me. She was also a passenger on the same plane as us. She was alone and felt lonely, and came to join us for a day. Her story surprised us. I got her permission and I'll write about her. She travelled to Yellowknife to watch the Aurora Borealis with her husband. When they arrived in Vancouver as a stopover on the way back to Japan, they had to stay one more day due to overbooking. As a result, they came to get on board the same plane with us. At Incheon Airport, in the midst of the chaos as I wrote before, they ended being separated, transported to individual hotels, and by extension they couldn't communicate with each other. Their cell phone didn't work in Korea. It's natural for her to feel lonely in an unknown nation. Finally, we, seven Japanese people, got to spend six hours in the country which we didn't want to visit.
Mr. W., who was our chef, had been to Seoul as an attendant doctor on a Korean patient, but he only stayed for a few hours and went back to Japan after turning the patient over to Korean medical personnel. For that reason, I decided on the place we visited in Seoul City.
