I was able to order a Seolleongtang in Korean, and then I also ordered some gimbap to go at a local shop in Korean. I actually learned Korean for about 2 years when I was a student. I used to communicate with some friends in Korean like I do in English here. My skills were beginner level since I haven't used it for about 10 years, so It has become more difficult to speak. There are many people who can speak Japanese here. A staff member of the convenience store also spoke to me in Japanese. I had just one problem at the station. I tried to go outside the ticket gate and scanned my IC card at the ticket turnstile, and then my suitcase went through, but the gate didn't let me through. 😱
