A week quickly passed, and Joon-won had completed the small itinerary he had planned before arriving in San Aurelio. The past week had been pretty fun for him as he immersed himself in the city, getting to know its people, culture, and rhythm. Although he initially struggled to communicate, only understanding parts of what people were saying, he gradually improved. By the end of the week, he could at least understand the gist of conversations without getting too confused. Responding, of course, was still a different matter, but he was making progress.
The days had flown by in a blur of exploration and learning. Joon-won visited famous landmarks, museums, and theaters, each experience adding a new layer to his understanding of the city. He had also tried various local cuisines, often relying on pointing at menu items or using translation apps to navigate his orders. Despite the occasional language barrier, he found that a friendly smile and a bit of patience went a long way.
