Familiarity Breeds Peace.....in Korea/ Some of my Familiar and Favorite Places

The Mini Stop across the street from my work building. The man working here is married to a Filipina. He asks me at various times where I am from, what I'm doing and how long will I be there for. I think his memory is bad or something but they are really nice. I buy Hoon-jae-ran, "Smoked Eggs" Kan-cho, Powerades, Diget Biscuits, and Bananas for snacks all the time. These kinds of shops are ridiculously plentiful in Changwon, almost every street block has one or two.
Ah yes, Miyabi. A Japanese style restaurant/ drinking place. They have great food, kind of a hybrid between Japanese/ Korean and Chinese, but its great interior and unique pouring decanter for drinks. The entrance to Hanbit Church where I have been going from the start of my time here. The friends I have made here are my best.
The character looking like this { 휴 } is the restaurant/tea place that I loved, very cozy and always playing good peaceful music. The character { 휴 } means "rest, relaxation"
