The ticket from my first solo bus trip across the country! I still don’t speak much Korean so the entire trip was accomplished in three words:
Me: JeonJu? (At the ticket counter all I could say was the city name.)
Ticket Girl: … (She didn’t say anything, since I didn’t speak Korean.)
Me: JeonJu? (To the driver, trying to ask which is the correct bus.)
Bus Driver: Okay!
I wasn’t even able to ask how many stops there would be, or if JeonJu was going to be the last stop on the route. I spent the whole trip terrified that I was going to wind up in the wrong city.
It was awesome.
