Going to China (2)

Gun-Ho decided to make a trip to China once his restaurant was sold.

"Come to think of it, I've never been outside of the country."

Gun-Ho had never had a chance or money to travel abroad because his family and himself hadn't had money for it while many of his friends took a trip overseas to study English or to do volunteer work abroad.

"I already have my passport. I applied for it with Jong-Suk when I was in Pocheon working in a factory. We, at that time, talked about working in Australia or Canada because we heard that we could make a lot of money doing welding over there. I guess I can make use of it this time."

Gun-Ho took his passport along with his business license to a travel agency close to the Noryangjin Station. He paid the agency fee, and they told him to come back after three days and pick his passport up.

Gun-Ho left the refrigerator and water heater in the restaurant because the new owner wanted to buy them.
