Not-so-quiet Tuesday

On Tuesday, I was very exhausted so I slept in. I didn't really want to go out at all but there was nothing but grapes from the previous day.

So I took a shower and about 10 minutes after I stepped out, the fire alarm above the bed went off. I fanned it, it wouldn't stop. I opened the windows, it still wouldn't stop.

Stepping on the bed, I still couldn't reach it. I knocked on my host's door but no one was home. I knocked on the upstairs neighbor's door but no one answered either. But after several minutes, I heard some noise on the stairs. The neighbor finally woke up because of the noise. He didn't speak much English but he took the alarm off the ceiling and detached the battery. Then he went out, presumably for breakfast.

Later, I went out too, and I left a note on Han's door. I found a bank ATM, but it didn't accept my card. Then I found a small grocery store and did some shopping.

Henry (Han's friend) was home by the time I got back. He apologized about the fire alarm and he also said that he rebooted the wifi router, as I suggested because the wifi was very slow. Then he offered some cake. I declined and thanked him, but I thought that was very sweet of him to ask. Meanwhile, Han was also communicating by Airbnb messaging.

Later in the afternoon, I headed to the little square at the intersection to do laundry. Then I went to bed early.
