The Subway in Gunsan finally reopened. I loved going there when I first came but then it closed indefinitely, rumors hinting that the owner had temporarily shut it down so he could battle cancer. I think I first saw its doors were shut in March or maybe early April.
In a country where salads aren't particularly prevalent, and where much of your vegetable intake is either pickled or from the same stack of leaves you eat your pork and beef with, a place with fresh, crisp lettuce of the variety I'm used to brings quite a refreshing taste to the table.
As I've mentioned on this blog before, I'm a notoriously picky eater, and I'll admit that the vegetable deficiencies in my diet are 90% my fault alone. But since coming to Korea, I've discovered I like cucumber, which I had never really been able to eat successfully back home. Whatever the cause of my new tastes, I'm thoroughly enjoying them. Tonight I ordered cucumber on my honey-oatbread sub, and did it ever hit the spot. I plan on crunching down fresh cucumbers more often from now on.
