'Kwak Tube' Kwak Jun-bin, the story of almost being lost in Hong Kong
In the EBS 'Kwak Jun-bin's World Driver's Restaurant', which aired on the 16th, Kwak Jun-bin finished his Hong Kong trip by enjoying the local characteristics, from the experience of a vacant house, a unique accommodation type that can only be seen in Hong Kong, to morning gymnastics to energize.
Kwak Jun-bin, who visited the driver's restaurant early in the morning, chatted with the taxi driver who naturally joined him and filled his stomach. Even though it was the first time they met, the taxi driver made Kwak Jun-bin laugh without hesitation. Kwak Jun-bin also skillfully turned the topic around with his unstoppable volubility and completed the fantasy Tikitaka.
Kwak Jun-bin decided to go to a place known to the taxi driver to spend the night in an empty house that was used as a guesthouse in an old apartment. Unlike other lodging facilities, it is impossible to make an online reservation for an empty house, so you have to visit only through word of mouth. In addition, since the taxi driver started business not long ago, he continued to wander the road, embarrassing Kwak Jun-bin.
Kwak Jun-bin, who was worse off, transformed into a navigation for a chick taxi driver in the third week of business, and finally arrived at the destination by directing the way. Although it was a long road trip, it was the first time he had experienced it, so Junbin Kwak said goodbye to the taxi driver and entered the vacant house.
However, Kwak Jun-bin's difficulties did not end there. They found an empty house with a unique atmosphere like a scene from a Hong Kong noir movie, but there was no response to the phone or doorbell. To make matters worse, while the language barrier was blocking Kwak Jun-bin, a benevolent guesthouse owner appeared in front of him who was lost in Hong Kong, making viewers feel relieved.
After the second night in Hong Kong, Junbin Kwak received a recommendation from the owner of the guest house and headed to the park where he did morning exercises. Contrary to his nonchalant expression, Kwak Jun-bin's passionate gestures, which are more engrossed in gymnastics than ever, brought laughter. Kwak Jun-bin, who finished the gymnastics with a strong spirit, started to experience humility, a traditional tea ceremony in Hong Kong, where people enjoy tea and dim sum together.
It was interesting to see the culture of Hong Kong restaurants where dishes are washed with hot water before a full-scale meal begins. Kwak Jun-bin was moved by the mothers who cared for him like a son, while giving thumbs up to the taste of dim sum that goes well with warm tea. He then ended his Hong Kong itinerary by saying “Nice to meet you” in Cantonese.
Kwak Jun-bin, who visited Hong Kong for the first time in his life, has shown off a different chemistry by getting along with locals with an affinity that transcends the language barrier. It is not a travel destination, but a place of life, experiencing the daily life of locals and providing fresh fun that can only be found in Hong Kong. As a result, I am curious about what kind of person Kwak Jun-bin will meet in his next travel destination after a sad breakup from his past relationship.
