Man, what a day! I’m a shepherd, right? But today, I was more like a lost sheep in Yangju. Seriously, I woke up thinking it’d be chill. Just me, my flock, and the hills. But nah, Yangju had other plans.
First off, I hit up the local market on Gyeonggi-daero. You know, the one that’s always buzzing? I’m just tryna grab some fresh veggies for my lunch. But the crowd? OMG, it was like a stampede! People everywhere, pushing and shoving. I’m like, “Chill, folks! It’s just cabbage!” But nooo, they’re all in a rush. I swear, I almost lost my favorite hat in the chaos.
Then, I bumped into this old dude. He’s selling handmade pottery. I’m like, “Nice stuff, man!” But he starts telling me his life story. I’m standing there, nodding, but inside I’m like, “Dude, I gotta go!” He’s talking about how he used to live on Sangnok-dong and how the pottery business is dying. I felt bad, but I had sheep to tend to!
After that, I decided to take a stroll down Yangju’s main street. It’s got these cute cafes and shops. I thought, “Hey, let’s grab a coffee!” So I pop into this little place called Cafe 7th Heaven. The barista? Super chill. I order a latte, and he’s like, “You want it hot or iced?” I’m like, “Dude, it’s freezing outside!” But then I see him whip up this iced drink. I’m like, “What are you doing?!” He just laughs. I guess he’s a rebel or something.
So, I’m sipping my latte, and I see this group of kids playing soccer in the park. They’re having a blast, and I’m just sitting there, feeling all nostalgic. I used to play soccer back in the day. But now? I’m just chasing sheep. Life’s funny like that, huh?
Then, outta nowhere, I hear this loud crash. I look over, and some guy just knocked over a food cart. Hot dogs everywhere! I’m talking a full-on hot dog massacre. People are laughing, and I’m just standing there, shaking my head. Like, come on, man!
After all that chaos, I finally make it to the Yangju Sports Complex. I’m thinking, “Alright, time to chill with my sheep.” But guess what? They’re all acting like they’ve had too much caffeine. Running around, bleating like crazy. I’m like, “Guys, it’s just a field!” But they’re not listening.
I finally get them settled down, and I sit on a rock, just watching the sunset. The sky’s all orange and pink, and I’m feeling kinda grateful. Like, yeah, today was wild, but it’s my life, ya know?
But then, I hear this loud honking. I look up, and it’s a bunch of cars stuck in traffic on Yangju’s main road. I can’t help but laugh. Like, I’m out here with my sheep, and these folks are stuck in their metal boxes. Who’s winning here?
As the sun sets, I think about how crazy life is. One minute you’re in a market, the next you’re dodging hot dogs. But that’s Yangju for ya. It’s a mix of chaos and beauty. And honestly? I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
So yeah, that was my day. Just a shepherd trying to make sense of the madness in Yangju. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
