Today was probably one of the last sunny days of the year. Sunny as is short sleeves and sun glasses. I met up with Taesung and Lily in Apgujeong. I walked to exit number four without realizing that I knew this place. I used to teach German in this area a few years ago. Three years to be exact. Funny to wander through the streets again.
It made me think about that time then and I wonder what happened to all those students. Miss Bora and her plan to study in Germany, did she ever make it overseas? Or Herr Lee, who was fed up with the inability to talk to his boss, did they ever talk in German after his lessons? It was a good experience, but I would hesitate to do it again.
We met and went to a coffee shop called Fika, to wait for another friend. It's a Swedish café and I found it brave, sitting there with its nordic menu, hidden in an alleyway between a dry-cleaner's and a barbeque joint. Alex arrived soon after our ordered beverages arrived. We asked for paper cups to go and left to find a sunny spot by the river.
