Buzzz!

For the past few days (or weeks, I should say), I have forcefully locked myself up in my room, my butt basically glued onto the chair, trying to chew and digest all the medical information that I possibly can. But there's only so much that I can take. I decided to go down to the nearest coffee shop, and study there, as I usually do in Manila. The nearest (and cheapest) that I found was Krispy Kreme. 

One of the most difficult thing to do in Korea is to order. Good thing, the cashier understood what I wanted when I said, "Mocha (Moo-ka), Iced, Tall" as I point to the 'Tall' sample plastic cup on the counter. Iced Mocha Latte at Krispy Kreme costs around KRW 4,500.00 (roughly Php 180.00). I didn't order any donuts since I just had my lunch. *burp* I try to cut as much calories as I can. Hehehe. Then he gave me this...

I looked at it, and didn't know what to do with it. What the hell is this? Written on the sticker was: Please wait while we prepare your drink. When the buzzer is on, please bring it to the pick up desk (in 3 languages). Whew! So this is their own version of our stainless steel order numbers back in Manila. And they didn't have to use a microphone to call out your number or your name (that would be a little more problematic, since not all Koreans can speak English) as this little thingy will just tell you that your order is ready. 

I nearly jumped off my seat as it vibrated and started to light up. Haha. I tried to compose myself before I stood up and calmly handed that thing to the barista in the counter. 

My Iced Mocha Latte and my study tools. I miss my study buddies back home. :(
