개밥에 도토리
dog-food-IN acorn
[Like] acorns in dogfood.
This means someone or something out of place. "A fish out of water" or "A square peg in a round hole" are perhaps similar English expressions.
Anyway, I like it. I imagine the dog, eyeing his food suspiciously.
I went into the city today. It was bright and sunny but very cold.
Today was the last day of my Lunar New Year holiday for which I have been doing absolutely nothing interesting. I met my friend Peter and we went to the big Kyobo bookstore at Gwanghwamun, where I bought some books to read – 2 history books: why am I so into reading history these days?
I was craving pseudo-Mexican for lunch, so we walked over to this place I know about. But the pseudo-Mexican joint along Jongno was closed. Who ever heard of a pseudo-Mexican joint closed for the day after Lunar New Year?
So Peter and I had pizza and talked for a few hours. He has a plan to hike the length of Korea after his contract runs out. I am full of admiration and jealousy over this plan.
