Kim Sung Ryong 9p(金成龙), the korean pro who came singapore last year invited me, cindy and shuan to a lunch. I thought is just LUNCH nothing else because the meeting time was 12pm so I didnt get breakfast and wanted to eat as much as possible.
When we reach korea baduk association, he suddenly wanted to play teaching game with us and of course there is no way we can reject him. After the game we have to walk 20mins to the restaurant he suggested. Well, lunch is ok, no mood to describe now...
Then here comes our biggest nightmare. Just as we were about to part ways, he ask where we were going and we told him we were planning to go Myeongdong. And he asked the question of the day in korean. " you guys have time?" It must be the food we just ate that made us dumb to reply "YES". Then he said" ok, lets walk to myeongdong, is only an hour"
Seriously I think the 3 of us were in shocked when he said that. Before we can reply anything, he has already started walking towards our trekking trip of the day... During the whole trip we were behind him cursing and swearing and we almost lost sight of him a few times cause he walk so fast like no one's business.
He stopped randomly and told us that taking train to myeongdong is around 25 mins, walking is only 1hour, of course choose walking because we can save the SGD1 plus fare. When I heard him say that I really have an urge to push him into the river which was just beside us and shout "I DONT MIND PAYING SGD1 PLUS FARE!!. I really think he is playing prank on us..... In the end it took more than 1 hour to reach myeongdong.
When we reach myeongdong, we were half dead and thought that the nightmare was over..BUT he started showing us myeongdong as if it was our first time there. If he was a tour guide i think all his tourist would have landed in hospital after a day.
This is the most unforgettable day in my 9months here.
Morale of the story: After a free meal, never say yes when asked if you have any time.
