Short and Sweet Trip to Busan
The host shares a story about his recent trip to Busan, Korea's second largest city located on the coast. He used to travel often to different cities in Korea when he first moved there, but now that he's married, his travel priorities have changed. However, due to their dog passing away, he and his wife were able to take a weekend getaway to Busan. They explored an industrial area that has been transformed into trendy cafes and stores. They also visited his wife's friend's cafe, which they thoroughly enjoyed, and praised the food and coffee. Although the trip was short, they had a great time and hope to visit again in the future.
Being on Dinner Duty
The host mentions that he needs to keep the episode short because he's on dinner duty and doesn't want to strain his throat. He explains that being on dinner duty means it's his responsibility to cook dinner. This expression can be used for other household chores as well, such as doing the dishes or cleaning the bathroom. The host provides example sentences to illustrate the usage of this expression, highlighting its versatility and practicality in daily life.
Changes in Traveling Habits
The host reflects on how his traveling habits have changed since moving to Korea. When he first arrived, he would travel to different cities with friends and explore the country. However, as many of his friends have left Korea and he got married, his travel opportunities have become more limited. He mentions a recent trip to Jeju Island and Kwangju, where he traveled alone due to the constraints of having a dog. Now that his dog has passed away, he and his wife were able to take a short trip to Busan and enjoyed visiting the city and spending time with friends.
