“Mom, the bathroom is over there. There you are.”
“But how much further do you have to go to the Grand Canyon? Are you okay?”
“Even if you feel frustrated, bear with it. Look at that. The dam is very big.”
“It’s nice. I can’t go any closer and see…”
The voices of Korean mothers and daughters can be heard exceptionally clearly.
Among the bus tour passengers, besides whites, there were a few Chinese and Japanese mixed in, but there were quite a few Koreans among them.
Travelers who visited Las Vegas, USA for the Lunar New Year holiday. It was a lot more shape than I thought.
“Oh, I’m sorry, but are you Korean? Do you have any lighters?”
A man with gray hair and dark sunglasses. He glanced at Hyeon-jun and immediately came over to ask for a cigarette lighter.
After all, Hyun-jun’s clothes and appearance are also unmistakably Korean.
“A lighter? Wait. Yes, I am here.”
“Haha, thank you.”
Laughing, the man immediately lit a cigarette, returned the lighter, and then went to a corner to smoke and stare at Hoover Dam.
As if a group was there, a certain lady came up to him and looked at Hoover Dam while talking.
However, Hyeon-jun continued to visit the Hoover Dam by himself.
Hmmm, I’m a bit bored too.
what can’t you do
Nonetheless, Hyun-joon used his smartphone to take pictures of his surroundings and take selfies himself.
On the other hand, the Korean mother and daughter grumbled the whole time, as if they were sorry that they couldn’t see the Hoover Dam up close, but Hyeon-jun put aside that regret and looked at the blue river beyond the huge dam and the mountains stretching straight beyond it.
and after a while
Grandpa’s guide shouted that he had to board.
Everyone hurriedly got back on the tour bus.
#
But I didn’t know before, but there are more Koreans than I thought.
Hyeon-jun walked down the aisle in the middle of the bus toward the back seat, and when he found a surprisingly large number of Koreans, he laughed inwardly.
But about halfway through from that point.
Suddenly, someone suddenly spoke to Hyunjoon.
“Over there bachelor.”
At this time, Hyeon-jun stopped walking without realizing it…
“Would you like to try this?”
“yes?”
“Did you come alone?”
“Ah yes.”
“Eat this. Because we have a lot.”
A Korean lady smiling and handing over ‘shrimp crackers’.
It is a middle-aged woman who appears to be the wife of the man who lent her the lighter a while ago.
“Oh, thank you.”
Hyeon-jun immediately thanked him and accepted the snack, bowing his head in gratitude.
Then, after returning to the back seat and staring at the shrimp cracker for a while, Hyeonjun smiled and opened the bag of shrimp cracker.
Mmm, delicious.
Shrimp crackers tasted in the US.
It is true that the taste is the same, but the feeling is slightly different.
and after a while
The tour bus, which stopped for a while, started again.
The white grandfather guide started talking nonstop, explaining something in English again.
#
On the other hand, the tour bus running through the desert of the western United States arrived at a village with the scent of the western American countryside before entering the Grand Canyon South Rim tourist point.
It was already lunch time, so the bus stopped in front of a small buffet restaurant, where Hyun-jun had lunch included in the package.
In turn, the tourists got off the bus.
We lined up to enter the restaurant, and each of us put as much food as we wanted on a plate and ate lunch.
But at this time, I don’t know if it’s a very natural thing…
Koreans gathered together and had a meal together.
At this time, the lady who gave the shrimp cracker on the bus gestured to Hyeon-jun as well, so Hyeon-jun ended up joining him.
And the Korean conversation begins.
“Haha, everyone is having a great trip on New Year’s Day. But where are you from?”
“Well, I live in Seoul.”
“Oh yeah? You came here with your family. I live in Incheon. Oh, did you two come here alone?”
An elderly mother and a very pretty college girl.
When someone asked, the elderly mother replied with a smile.
“yes. I came alone with my daughter.”
“Wow, that must be a very good memory for mother and daughter. By the way, then where did that bachelor come from?”
After having a conversation once in a while, as the eyes focused on Hyeon-jun, Hyeon-jun opened his mouth with a bitter smile.
“I also live in Seoul.”
“Ah, so you came alone without a companion?”
“yes.”
Hyeonjun gives a short answer.
“Haha, you have a good-looking face, but you come with your girlfriend. By the way, aren’t you married?”
Even though she was young, she had a neat feeling, and the man even asked Hyun-jun if he was married just in case.
Hyunjoon replied.
“yes. I am single.”
“Wow, I heard that young people these days really travel alone, how is it? Is it fun to go alone?”
“It’s just, it’s fine.”
“Have you been to the casino?”
“yes.”
Hyeon-joon responded appropriately to the continued question, and soon smiled. Come to think of it, the memory of winning a lot of chips in the blackjack game yesterday came to my mind.
On the other hand, a female college student who came with her elderly mother. She glanced at Hyunjoon.
She was a college girl with pretty eyes.
However, as the gaze continued to reach his face, Hyeon-jun turned his head consciously, and the female college student immediately averted his gaze and looked like he was talking to his mother.
In any case, Hyun-Jun ended up having a meal with a crowd of Koreans, and after a while, got back into the tour vehicle.
And finally, the next destination, Grand Canyon South Rim Tourist Point.
The tour bus arrived there safely.
#
“Hey Guys! Walk from Mather point to Yavapai point and have a wonderful time with your family. Our bus leaves in about an hour. Make sure you come on time. The trail course is very safe, so you can enjoy it comfortably.”
The grandfather guide smiled and said so.
After a while, the tourists who got off the tour bus started walking along the trail course from then on. Families and lovers started to walk in stride, but Hyeon-jun, who had traveled alone, ended up walking along the road alone.
But even at this time, someone spoke to Hyeon-jun.
“Over there bachelor.”
“···yes?”
uh?
This time, every lady.
The lady who gave me shrimp crackers.
“If you’re bored, would you like to come with us?”
When I turn my head and look at him, the man grins too. I can’t see his eyes because he’s wearing sunglasses, but he’s smiling.
And the uncle also spoke.
“Let’s go together.”
“Ah yes.”
“Hey, are you at work?”
“Yeah, what…”
Then, the man suddenly raised his voice a little.
“Actually, my son joined the company as a new employee last year. But thank you mom and dad for letting me go on this trip. haha.”
At the same time, the man who even brings out the story of his family. It looked pretty unassuming.
At this time, Hyeon-jun found out that the man was older than he thought.
“Hey, do you have a girlfriend? My son already wants to marry his lover.”
“… Ah, I’m not there yet.”
Then, the lady looked at Hyeon-jun and opened her mouth.
“Oh my, you look good too. Aren’t there a lot of nice people around?”
At this time, Hyeonjun smiled awkwardly and spoke again.
“Shall I match you?”
At that moment, Hyeon-jun’s eyes widened and he was frightened.
“no. I am fine.”
“Then which company do you work for?”
“yes?”
Let Hyunjoon panic for a moment.
Aunty smiles.
“Bachelor, if you don’t want to answer, you don’t have to. Oh, more than that… the lady in front of you over there is pretty, isn’t it?”
Then, she glanced at the female college student who came with her elderly mother.
However, they were just walking a few feet in front of them, so maybe a female college student could hear these voices.
“He is currently attending Yeonguk University. She graduated from a prestigious university and has a pretty face…”
At that moment, Hyeonjun slightly frowned. However, he soon ends up laughing.
Isn’t it a really great madang hair?
When did you find out about all that?
This lady must have seen them for the first time.
Anyway, Hyeon-joon looked at the female student for a moment as if he was interested in the fact that she was from Yeonguk University, the same school he graduated from, but soon turned his attention away.
In fact, the chief minister who appeared shortly after.
Because of the expansive appearance of the wide-spread Grand Canyon, it was inevitable that all eyes would be focused on that side.
And Hyun-joon took a picture of the surroundings with his smartphone. After that, he took a picture of the couple posing, and he himself took a picture in a nice standing position.
After taking pictures like that, Hyeon-jun stood still and looked at the Grand Canyon, then walked a little further and went to a place where there were a lot of rocks and sat down for a while.
Even though I was traveling alone.
Even so, when I saw Mother Nature, I felt like my stomach was pierced.
Meanwhile, after finishing the tour of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, the tour bus stopped for a while at the very small rural town of Seligman.
After that, I drove another two hours to get back to Las Vegas.
At this time, the bus stopped at the entrance of each hotel for the tourists to get off.
When Hyun-joon arrived near the Bellagio Hotel, he gave a tip to his grandfather’s guide and got off the bus.
But at this time.
Unexpectedly, the mother and daughter also followed.
#
“Oh, are you staying here?”
As soon as she got off in front of the hotel, the female college student spoke to Hyeon-jun for the first time. At this time, Hyun-jun looked at his mother once and answered briefly.
“yes. Here at the Bellagio Hotel.”
“Ah, so do we.”
“yes.”
Hyeon-jun just smiled and was about to break up immediately, but the female college student started talking to him again.
“You said you’ve been to the casino, right?”
“yes?”
It was a sudden question, so when Hyun-jun asked, the female college student said again.
“I’m sorry, but my mom and I are new to casinos, so I don’t know what to do.”
After that, the female college student explained a bit more.
Come to think of it, even if you sit at a blackjack table, you will have to learn how to place bets to some extent to be able to play.
The same goes for Baccarat, Poca, and Roulette.
Hyeon-jun hesitated for a moment to find out why, but at this time, after looking at his slightly tired mother, he finally decided to help them a little.
“Yes. That will be fine. So now… it’s around 7:20 in the evening, so would you like to see it in the lobby over there around 10:00 at night? I’ll go with you then and tell you briefly.”
Then, the female college student’s expression brightened considerably.
“thank you!”
The college girl shouted loudly.
Hyeonjun smiled and greeted the two lightly before returning to his room.
