Where can I stay in Seoul?


 
Situational Dialogues
 
 
1. Thor asks advice from some teachers in Pusan

 

Thor

Where can I stay in Seoul?

Friend

How much do you want to spend?.

Thor

I want something cheap. I'm spending my own money

Friend

Well then, stay in a yogwan.

Thor

Everyone stays "stay in a yogwan". The question is, which yogwan?

Friend

Oh, just go to any yogwan. There are hundreds of them.

Thor

But some yogwans will be good and some will be bad.

Friend

Ah, don't worry about it. Just go.

Thor

Oh, you are no help at all.

 
 
2. Thor is standing near Tak'pol park in Seoul. A lady offers to help.

 

Lady

Are you looking for something? Can I help you?

Thor

Thanks, yes. I'm looking for the Munhwa Yogwan.

Lady

I've never heard of it, sorry.

Thor

Oh, this guide book says it's around here somewhere.

Lady

Hmm, let me see. Yes, there's a phone number. Just a moment.

Thor

Mobile phones are wonderful, aren't they.

Lady

Ah, what a nuisance !! The battery is flat. Wait, I'll ask that student over there.

Thor

I'm giving you a lot of trouble

Lady


You are in luck. He made a booking for you. Someone from the Munhwa Yogwan will come here to pick you up in a few minutes.

Thor

Thank you very much indeed !
