"Gee, it's already 9 pm . We need to grab a taxi quickly . Chan-Ho, let's have dinner after we check in to the hotel . "
"I'm good with it . "
After passing through the customs, Gun-Ho went out to the waiting area in the airport . There was a lady who was waving a white paper that said 'Gun-Ho Goo . '
"Are you waiting for me?"
"Are you President Goo from Korea?"
"Yes, I am . "
"I'm from the Foreign Affairs and Trade Office of Antang City . "
"Foreign Affairs and Trade Office?"
"Yes . "
Gun-Ho, who used to live and run a business in China, had an idea who sent this person .
'I guess the deputy mayor of Antang City arranged it in an effort to bring foreign investment funds to his community . So, he sent a vehicle and personnel to pick up a businessman from Korea . '
When Gun-Ho followed the person, who came to pick him up, to the outside of the airport, a black Audi was waiting for him .
"Chan-Ho, let's get in . "
"Sir, are you sure we can just get in this car? We don't know this person . "
"It's okay . "
The lady who was sitting in the front passenger seat said, "I was told that you have a room reserved in Jinqiao Fandian (name of the hotel) . "
"That's correct . If you could drop us off at the hotel, I would appreciate it . "

Guiyang City was roughly equivalent to a province in Korea, so it was certainly a huge city . Its population was 4 . 5 million, which was about the same as Busan City's in Korea .
While heading to his hotel in the car, Gun-Ho asked the person from the Foreign Affairs and Trade Office, "How large is Guizhou Province?"
"It's exceeding 170,000 ㎢ . "
"Wow! 170,000!"
Chan-Ho, who was sitting next to Gun-Ho, asked, "Why are you so surprised?"
"The size of Guizhou Province is 170,000 ㎢ . How can I not be surprised?"
Chan-Ho Eum didn't seem to quite get how large 170,000 ㎢ actually is .
"How big is it?"
"The Guizhou Province itself is way bigger than the size of the entire South Korea . South Korea is less than 100,000 ㎢ while Guizhou Province is 170,000 ㎢ . "
"Oh, I see . It's indeed huge . "
Gun-Ho asked the staff from the Foreign Affairs and Trade Office again, "How large is Guiyang City then?"
"It's 8,000 ㎢ . "
"8,000!"
Gun-Ho couldn't close his mouth in surprise . The size of Guiyang City was larger than Korea's North Chungcheong Province .
"Oh, my gosh! One single city is larger than our province . How large could this country be then?"
The Audi continued to move until it reached a city where tons of buildings formed just like a forest .
"I thought that Guiyang City was the countryside, but it is actually a large city . "

When the car arrived at the hotel, Gun-Ho thanked them for the ride .
"Thank you so much . "
"I will come back tomorrow morning at 9 am to pick you up . You can take a bus to get to Antang City, but the bus is very old and slow . We will take you to Antang City with our car . "
"Oh, you will be here to pick us up tomorrow morning? Thank you very much . "
Gun-Ho went into the hotel and checked in .
"Two Dan ren fang (room for one person) please . "
Gun-Ho received two keys for each room and gave one to Chan-Ho Eum .
"Don't walk around by yourself . Since you don't speak Chinese, you can get into trouble if you get lost . You have to be with me if you want to go outside, okay?"
"Okay, sir . "
"Put your luggage in your room and come to the lobby . We need to eat even though I'm not sure if we can find any place to eat at this hour . "
Gun-Ho and Chan-Ho walked on the street . Many stores were already closed .
"Oh, I think there is a snack bar over there behind the alley . "
"It says Yangming kuaican . I think it is a snack bar . "
"How come you can read Chinese letters?"
"Of course I do . They are very basic Chinese letters . "
"Whoa, you are unbelievable, sir . "

Gun-Ho ordered some crullers, stir-fried tofu, pork, etc . along with a bottle of beer .
"How is it? You like them?"
"They are good . The tofu tastes a bit strange, but overall, these are very good . "
"Let's be happy with what we could have at this hour . We can have much better food tomorrow . I guess the Antang City's deputy mayor will invite us for very nice food . "
After having a few soft crullers with a beer, Gun-Ho felt full .
"Let's go back to the hotel . We started our day at Incheon International Airport, and flew to Shanghai City, and then flew again to Guiyang City . It was a long trip . You must be very tired . Take a deep sleep and get ready for tomorrow . "
Gun-Ho walked out of the snack bar after paying for the food in cash .
When Gun-Ho and Chan-Ho walked out of the alley heading to the hotel, two men, who were walking towards Gun-Ho, hit Gun-Ho's shoulder when they were passing him .
"Pickpockets!"
Chan-Ho grabbed the back of the one of the two men's neck in the blink of an eye and twisted his arm .
The man screamed in pain .
While the man struggled to get out of Chan-Ho's restraint, a wallet fell to the ground . It was Gun-Ho's wallet .
"What?! That's my wallet!"
Gun-Ho quickly picked up his wallet from the ground . Until then, Gun-Ho didn't even realize his wallet was stolen .
Chan-Ho twisted the man's arm one more time, and the pickpocket screamed . The other man, who was tall, took out a jackknife .
Chan-Ho took off his jacket and threw it towards Gun-Ho, and said, "Sir, please hold my jacket . I guess I need to do some exercise . "
"Let's just get out of here . That man is jumping around with a knife . "
Chan-Ho made a sound by cracking his knuckles .
"Chinese jackas*es! You picked the wrong guy today!"
Chan-Ho had massive forearms compared to ordinary men since he worked out a lot . Under the streetlight at night, Chan-Ho's muscles and the tattoos on his arms stood out .
The man, whose arm was twisted by Chan-Ho, shouted to his party .
"Ni kan! Qianbi shang de wenshen (Look at that man's tattoo on his arms)!"
When Chan-Ho was about to attack them, the two pickpockets ran away without even looking back at them .
Gun-Ho said with a smile while giving Chan-Ho's jacket back to him, "If you were not here with me today, I would have lost my wallet for good . "
"I was about to break their jaws . "
"Well, you should be careful . They had a knife . It's dangerous!"
"There is a way to subdue a man who is holding a knife . "
"Anyway, they are very skillful pickpockets . I give them that . I didn't even know that my wallet was gone until I saw it on the ground . "
"I think they targeted us because we look different from local people here, and they probably saw us coming out of the hotel . "
"I guess we'd better change into some local shabby clothes . "
Gun-Ho and Chan-Ho arrived at the hotel .
"Well, have a sweet dream, and I will see you tomorrow morning around 8 am . I think we can have breakfast at the hotel . "
"Yes, sir . "
"I believe you have beers in the refrigerator in your room . If you want more beer for tonight, have them . The last time I checked the refrigerator in my room, there were beers and some snacks like peanuts . "
"Okay, sir . "
