Those of you back home call it 'Tesco', here it's 'Homeplus' and its where I head to for my big monthly shop.
Today, Tae-Sun and I decided to go for lunch and onto Homeplus to stock up on some groceries - a very normal/non-dramatic day. Or so we thought...
As we were wheeling our trolley through the frozen section my stomach started to rumble in a strange way - the way it feels when you're about to a) be very sick b) poo your pants right there and then!!
I thought to myself, "I'll be okay, we only have to get some veggies and then we'll be on the way home to our nice private bathroom". But as I was thinking this, it seems Tae-Sun was thinking the exact same thing...weird how things synchronize hey?! He moaned at me "Toilet...gotta go!!"....and all I saw was his back, running off in the direction of the exit.
I tried to compose myself and wait for him in the Ramen aisle. "He won't be long", I thought to myself, "I can wait this out." Turns out I couldn't wait. I left the full trolley near the bananas and legged it as fast as I could to the Homeplus toilets (seeing the sign brought me MUCH joy!!). Ten minutes later we called each other from our cubicles to check we were both over the worst and planned to meet back at the trolley.
Turns out the lovely spicy chicken we ate and enjoyed so much last night didn't seem to like us at all!!
Lesson learned - Never head to Homeplus when you're unsure of your bowel movements and their planned attacks!!
On a brighter note - we stocked up on a big bag of 10 ice-creams to soothe our poorly stomachs AND I treated myself to a bottle of red wine that I would usually drink back in England (it's a shame I forgot to buy a corkscrew - duh!! Im unsure how ive lasted 18months in Korea without one of those!!)
Apologies for the graphic nature of this blog, but if you know me well, then you know that im always open to telling people about poo incidents! ^^
I take it this was before the bowel movement?
