Okay, so today I want to share with you an experience that I have 3 months ago. And I saw that the place, the destination was quite boring. Okay, so it was about 3 months ago when I decided visiting a countryside, like a small village that near my hometown. You know, I’m living in a sub-urban area of Hanok capital and it is also quite peaceful and quiet. But after my friend suggested to me to visit that village because she said that there are a lot of interesting choices and peaceful activities and I decided to try it. But after arriving to the village, I realized that it has nothing. I tried to find some shops, restaurants, or even just some small coffee shops, but there’s know nothing and these shops like there’s no customer for long times and after we arrived to the village in the afternoon and we spent the whole afternoon just like lying in bed in the hotel and do nothing because there’s nothing to do. And so I went there with some of my best friends. And at first, I believe that at least there are some things that we can play together, like sports or music, or even just some small things, but there’s no nothing. And I realized that just after some minutes. and we decided to leave early and never come back to that village again because it’s quite boring and doom.
