WAMB Chapter 1.2

The small 7380c6e36a amount of 19c2538ff4 money Sewon c64df32e7c had exchanged 10312b522e at Istanbul 28556d2a4b Airport had 94288c1cb4 completely run 8f2dc1fd4f dry. Instead of heading aa090bdfe4 straight to the 297ba5b5f2 tourist sites, he 8b9e575e06 decided to exchange a8abc3188b more. Passing through c5e5de5818 the wide-open a5ec8ca22b Taksim Square 6e8877be83 into the e6f35268c5 bustling district, 7976b618d5 he found 72f8da2ccf currency exchange 508d161983 shops practically ef08a8ddc8 every ten f9109fec23 steps—exaggeration aside. Flashy LED signs 8206f8deb8 listed rates for 5473bf2290 dollars, euros, and 9e7d869f48 pounds. f9dabf0e637c1a2d

Despite the early 547b47680c hour, the streets 18ecce5f86 buzzed with energy, 1e22142f5c likely due to b5f5ca22a2 the throngs of 6e14ff5436 tourists. A vendor 2dd511cf5b twirling ice f07f1e4959 cream on 452184293b a metal 2198603641 rod, shouting, a75bec72c3 “Dondurma¹, dondurma,” caught 916ca3aa9a Sewon’s eye. 737fe5d6265e4d93

A child at ed382d1e95 the stall giggled 524efbf23d gleefully, watching the 2e5469afec ice cream slip 426e8b2957 mischievously out of b51941dd1c reach. The stretchy, white 3220f31528 texture looked chewy 313dd6f6e4 and enticing, and 2fadfffc88 Sewon vowed to ac46611350 try it at da1a12e7c8 least once before 974be6cb63 returning to Korea. 3e469442c5b7a7dc

He exchanged his 78e6e99794 dollars for lira. The amount was bbbdfeda8a quite large to 06f46cd630 carry around all 442f46c63d at once, so 684ababe82 Sewon had to 2b4a8ea0d5 stop by the 36bb68cbeb hotel again.b6e270a044e063a6

Turning into the 00863b23a4 alley leading from 7dbe816929 the square, he a0526b3c2c arrived at the 77ab070388 hotel. Sewon was staying at 8fb5cbb948 a boutique hotel belonging 664635b0b6 to a famous hotel c59ee5fc0b chain, which he had 437b248686 luckily booked at a 768baa8aa4 last-minute special price. 8a8a9e7479fc3319

Bulkan, now d6ea6a1413 free after eebe4b693c checking out b28f4eec5e a guest, b45cc62476 called out 64164ff713 to Sewon.

With his friendly nature e832ba485c and knack for putting 6ec514be9d people at ease, it 152f5a6daa seemed like his calling.

Today was Monday, so there was still time until Friday. He didn’t have many sightseeing plans for Thursday, so it didn’t seem like a big deal to make time on Friday evening. 8e87b7f151bebc14
