Saturday walk about

Last Weekend I decided to explore around Camp Walker and Camp Henry. These are two U.S. Army bases in Daegu. Henry is further out, but within walking distance. It took me probably 30 minutes to walk. I got off at the subway close to Camp Walker, then turned right and kept walking and following the signs to Camp Henry. I had only been there once before, and that was in a taxi. I was following the road signs along and finally did see Camp Henry. I was looking for any western stores or restaurants but to no avail. I saw a sign for a temple about 50 meters. I walked down and there was a tour group at the temple. I took some pictures. I thought ahead this time and brought a granola bar and bottle of water. I turned back and decided to follow the wall of Camp Henry and hoped it would take me back to Camp Walker, I was way off course. I walked through a market of sorts. Hajumas were selling produce on the sidewalk and there were more stores behind selling everything from winter coats to trinkets. I finally came upon a flea market. There were tents set up selling clothes, coats, shoes, mostly for women of course. I walked the length of it and window shopped as it were. I noticed two Korean girls were selling hot dogs, but these were not big sellers. I decided to try some Korean food. This food was dough that was soaked or cooked in fish juice and skewered. There were three of them, and I managed to eat one and half. As I was eating the “Community Chief” introduced himself. He asked me how the food was. He spoke in English, which is surprising. But, even more aggravating I think is that I said hello in Korean and he spoke in English.
