Dear James Hi, How have you been these days? I've been travelling to other countries. I heard that you are going to visit here. So I'd like to ask you to bring some Korean typical food
such
as Kimchi, gochujang and all that jazz
that is
needed to cook Korean dishes. As I know, you are going to visit the city next to my home. If let me know when you visit exactly, I'm
also
going to go airport in the city. With that said, how about going to some tourist attractions? I've been to the city as well.
Therefore
I can afford I'll let you take hidden gems and uncrowded restaurants. If you like drinking coffee, I'd like to go to the cafe, which has a beautiful view and
also
sells wonderful cakes. I wanted to go with you when I visited for the first time. Best Regards.
