After having dinner with my friends last night, I spent a night at a relative's house of one of them. Her relatives welcomed me very kindly, and the next morning they cooked breakfast for me. They gave me an egg omelette, rice and sausage, The sausage was really delicious!

어제 친구들과 저녁을 함께 먹고서, 그 중 한 친구의 친척 집에서 하룻밤을 보내게 되었다. 친척 분들은 정말 친절하게 환영해주셨는데, 그 다음날 아침 밥도 해주셨다. 계란 오믈렛과 밥 그리고 소세지를 주셨었는데, 소세지가 정말 맛있었다!

What a nice morning it is. I decided to come out of my house for a while and look around the neighborhood and visit a market on the street.

날씨가 참 좋은 아침이다. 잠시 집 밖으로 나와 동네를 구경하면서 길거리에 있는 시장에 방문해보기로 했다.

Since the Philippines has a warm climate, fruits are sweet and delicious. Watermelon must have been sweet and delicious.

필리핀은 따뜻한 기후를 가진 나라라서 그런지 과일도 달고 맛있다. 수박은 분명 달고 맛있을 것 같았다.

I don't know what fruit this is. It was my first time seeing a fruit, but when I saw it for a long time, the owner gave me a hand to try it. It seemed as sour as I expected, but it was an interesting fruit that I wanted to keep eating.

이것은 무슨 과일인지 모르겠다. 처음 보는 과일이었는데 한참을 구경하자 주인 분께서 하나 먹어보라며 손에 쥐어주셨다. 예상했던 것처럼 신 맛이 강했던 것 같은데, 계속 더 먹어보고 싶은 흥미로운 과일이었다.

There were selling coconuts, but in Korea it is very expensive so it is hard to eat, and I like it so much that I bought just one. The owner cut the coconut with a knife and put a straw in it so that it could be drunk, as expected, the coconut water was fresh and delicious. As far as I remember, I heard coconut water is good for your health, but I hope you can buy it cheaply in Korea.

코코넛도 팔고 있었는데, 한국에는 굉장히 비싸서 먹기 힘들기도 하고, 내가 워낙 좋아하기도 해서 바로 하나를 샀다. 주인은 그 자리에서 칼로 코코넛을 자르고 마실 수 있도록 빨대를 꽂아주었는데, 역시나 코코넛워터는 신선하고 맛있었다. 내가 기억하기로는 코코넛워터가 몸에도 좋다고 들었던 것 같은데, 한국에서 저렴하게 살 수 있으면 좋겠다.

There are many other fruits in the Philippines, and mango is the representative fruit. Usually, when people think of mangoes, they think of sweet mangoes with yellow shells or apple mangos with red and green shells.

필리핀은 그 외에도 여러 과일들이 참 많은데 대표적인 과일로 망고가 있다. 대개 많은 사람들이 망고하면 노란색 껍질을 가진 단맛의 망고 혹은 빨간색과 초록색이 섞인 껍질을 가진 애플망고를 떠올린다.

There is this light green mango in the Philippines, which can be distinguished in taste by whether it is long and slender or has a short, thick shape.

As far as I remember, the long, slender mango has a very sour taste, and in the Philippines, people dip it in salt to enjoy the sour taste.

필리핀에는 이 연두색의 망고가 있는데, 망고가 길고 가느다란 모양인지 혹은 짧고 두툼한 형태의 모양을 가졌는지에 따라 맛을 구분할 수 있다.

내 기억상으로는 길고 가느다란 망고가 굉장히 신 맛을 지닌 것으로 기억하는데, 필리핀에서는 그 신맛을 즐기기 위해 소금을 살짝 찍어 먹기도 한다.

Anyway, I bought various kinds of fruits, because the relatives let me crush on their to sleep.

뭐 어쨋든 한국에서는 과일이 굉장히 비싸기 때문에 재워주신 것에 보답도 할 겸, 여러 과일을 종류별로 사왔다.

The avocado was also being sold in the market, and it was actually the second time in my life that I had eaten it. At first, it was unfamiliar, so I tried it because I was curious, but it was not greasy and tasteless. After that, I didn't bother to buy avocados in Korea after learning that they were also sold at a very high price of about 3 to 4 USD.

But gradually, I heard that avocado is very good for health, and it was so cheap in the Philippines that I bought one and ate it. I love it now, but at the time, I think I ate it thinking, "Why did I buy it?"

아보카도도 시장에서 팔고 있었는데, 사실 이 아보카도를 태어나서 2번째로 먹는 것이었다. 처음엔 생소한 것이어서 호기심이 생겨서 먹어봤는데 느끼하고 맛이 없어서 먹지 않았다. 그 이후에는 한국에서 아보카도 또한 1개에 3~4 USD 정도의 굉장히 비싼 가격에 팔리는 것을 알고 나서는 굳이 사먹으려고 하지 않았다.

그러나 점차 아보카도가 몸에 굉장히 좋다는 이야기들을 듣게 되고, 필리핀에서는 워낙 저렴했기에 하나를 사서 먹었다. 지금은 굉장히 좋아하지만, 당시에는 "이걸 왜 샀지?" 하며 먹었던 것 같다.

There was a cute kitten running around in the house. It was so cute, but when I asked my relatives, they said they would come to my house if they were bored.

집에는 귀여운 새끼 고양이가 이리 저리 뛰고 있었다. 정말 너무 귀여웠는데, 친척들에게 물어보니 길 고앙이들인데 심심하면 집에 놀러온다고 했다.

Many brothers seemed to stay together. Except for the hair flying... I also want to raise with affection.

여러 형제들도 같이 머무는 듯 했다. 털 날리는 것만 빼면.. 나도 애정을 가지고 키워보고 싶다.
