Take Away

Many dudes here whizz around the streets on motorcycles and scooters. A few ride with just the one hand, in the other they holdĀ  a large metal box by the handle.

I’ve always wondered what they were. Well, sitting in a bar in Hondae a couple of nights ago, one of these guys parks his scooter outside the bar and waltzes in with his large silver box and precedes to unload 2 ceramic plates of fried rice covered with glad wrap, followed by maybe 6 or 7 of the ubiquitous side dishes.

Turns out they’re Chinese take-away delivery guys. He’ll return in just under 2 hours to collect the plates. and all this for two for about W8000 (maybe $11.80).

Service!

  2. Hi Mikael,

    I’m arriving in Seoul on Friday for an indefinite stay and finding my way to an interesting cafe/bar is a priority. May I buy you a drink for a pointer or two?

    Take good care,
