初めて韓国に来た。

今回は、教会の揚先生が計画してくれたもの。


My first visit to Korea.

This trip was planned and organised by Yan-sensei, our church pastor.





韓国のインチョン空港に着くと、

揚先生が暖かく迎えてくれた。


We arrived at the Incheon airport at around 15:30.

Yan-sensei welcomed us at the arrival gate.



空港まで、揚先生の派遣教会である広峴教会のバスで迎えに来てくれた。


A pickup bus of Gwanghyeun church (where Yan-sensei is delegated from)

was waiting for us at the airport.





晩飯まで少し時間があったので、

オリンピック公園を少し散歩した。

「ソウルは東京より暖かい《と揚先生から聞いていたが、

とんでもない、東京よりもずっと寒く、

大陸の厳しい風がほっぺたを凍り付けた。

しかし揚先生を責めることは出来ない。

何故なら、揚先生ご自身も荷物になるからという理由で日本からコートを

持ってこなかったらしく、相当寒そうにしていたから!


As we had time until dinner,

we strolled around the Olympic park.

We were told by Yan-sensei, who arrived in Seoul before us,

that "Seoul is relatively warmer than Tokyo",

which turned out to be totally inaccurate.

We almost froze to death!

But I cannot blame Yan-sensei,

as he forgot to bring his own coat.





Kohei君も薄着だったので寒そうだった。


I felt sorry for Kohei,

who was wearing only few shirts.

But he survived.









夜には、広峴教会のすぐ近くにある韓国料理屋で、

ソルロンタンという料理を食べた。

牛肉のだしと牛乳とチーズで味付けがしてあるスープに、

ごはんを入れて食べる。

これがなかなかうまい。

本場のキムチも食べた。

Hikarukunも大満足。


For dinner, we went into this Korean restaurant

near Gwanghyeun church and had a traditonal

Korean cuisine called Seolleongtang,

which is a soup made from ox bones,

seasoned with milk and cheese.

You eat it by putting rice in it

and you can also adjust the taste with salt and some pepper.

It was really good.

We also had the "real" Korean kimchi,

which was hot, but nice.

Hikaru, the youngest, was happy too.



夜8時半から、広峴教会の賛美集会に参加。

教会の皆さんが暖かく迎えてくれた。

夜は、広峴教会から車で30分ぐらいの所にある

百周年記念館という施設に泊まる。

感謝な一日。


From half past eight, we attended the worship service

at Gwanghyeun church, where we were warmly welcomed.

I was very inspired by the way Korean church members worship.


As for the accomodation,

we stayed at a Millenium Memorial center,

which is a facility run by a large Korean Christian organisation.

It was a wonderful day.
