Looking for a vegetarian meal. >> Hi. >> Hey, table for one.

Wow, there's a lot here. >> Yeah, the menu is pretty big. >> Um, do you have any vegetarian options?

>> Yeah, quite a few, actually. >> Oh, good. >> Do you want something light or more

filling? >> Probably something filling. >> Hm. The veggie rice bowl is pretty good.

>> You can add tofu, too. >> Hm. I've never tried tofu before. >> Really?

>> Yeah. >> First time today, then? >> I guess so.

>> It's actually really soft and tasty. >> All right, add tofu then. >> Nice.

>> Want to try one? >> Sure. One cheese pastry then. >> Got it.

>> Oh, and what's that chocolate one? >> That's filled with dark chocolate. >> Is it very sweet?

>> Not too sweet. >> All right, give me one of those two. >> Nice choice.

>> Definitely. Do you want to sit here or take everything to go? >> I'll stay here for a bit.

>> Sure, you can sit by the window if you want. >> Oh, nice. That spot looks cozy.

>> It's everyone's favorite seat. >> Hopefully, it's still free when my food's ready.

enough. >> True. >> Before the interview.

>> Hi, I'm here for an interview. >> Good morning. What's your name? >> Danielle Park.

>> Okay, let me check. Yep, I found you. Your interview is at 11:00. >> Yeah, that's right.

>> Thanks. >> Would you like some water? >> Oh, yes, please.

>> Here you go. >> Thank you so much. >> No problem. First interview?

>> That's normal. Just try to relax. >> I'll try. >> What job did you apply for?

>> The cafe assistant job. >> Oh, nice. A lot of students apply for that one.

>> Really? Oh, wow. Now I'm more nervous. >> Don't worry. Just be yourself. >> Yeah, good point.

>> Do you have your resume with you? Yep. Right here in my bag. >> Perfect. The manager is finishing a

meeting now. She'll be ready soon. >> Okay. Thanks for being so nice. >> Of course. Good luck with your

interview. >> Thanks. I need it. >> Looking for the night market.

Excuse me. Um, could you help me for a second? >> Yeah, sure. I think I took the wrong

street. >> Oh, where are you trying to go? >> The Riverside Night Market.

>> Ah, okay. Yeah, you're going the wrong way. >> I had a feeling.

>> Did your phone send you here? >> Yeah, but then the signal disappeared for a minute.

>> Oh, yeah. It's actually pretty easy from here. >> Okay, good.

>> Just keep walking straight. Straight ahead? >> Yep. Then turn left before the bridge.

>> Oh, bridge. Do I need to cross it? >> No. Turn left before it. >> Ah, okay.

>> After that, you'll hear music and see a lot of lights. >> Sounds hard to miss.

>> Exactly. >> Is it far? >> Maybe 8 or 10 minutes.

>> Oh, that's not bad at all. Nah, >> I was worried I'd need to call a taxi again.

>> Your wallet survived. Then >> barely. >> You can save that money for food at the

market. >> Good idea. Is the food good there? >> Yeah, the grilled seafood is really

good. >> Oh, now I'm even more excited. >> You should definitely try it.

>> Got it. >> All right. Straight ahead, then left before the bridge. Okay, I think I

remember now. >> You'll be fine. >> Thanks a lot for the help.

>> No problem. Enjoy the market. >> First time using chopsticks. >> Here, try these noodles.

>> Oh, wow. They smell really good. Um, wait, where's the fork? >> Yeah, no fork today.

>> What? Come on, try chopsticks. >> Uh, I've never used them before. >> Really?

>> Yeah. This is probably going to end badly. >> Relax. You'll survive.

>> I'm not sure about that. >> Okay, look. Hold them like this. >> Okay. Oh, wow. This already feels weird.

>> Yeah, your hand is too stiff. My hand is scared. >> Just relax a little.

>> Like this? >> Oh, yeah. That's better already. >> All right, I'm trying now.

Oh, no. >> The noodle escaped again. >> I saw that. It flew away from me.

>> Okay. Okay. Try again. >> Fine. Wait. Wait. Oh, I got one.

>> Oh, nice. Don't drop it now. >> Um, stop talking. You're making me nervous.

>> Sorry. Sorry. >> Okay. Slowly, slowly.

Oh, no. >> It fell again. Wow. So close.

>> Why is this so difficult? >> Honestly, your hands just need practice. M people really eat like this every day.

>> Yeah. And pretty fast, too. >> Wow. Respect. >> Hey, you're improving, though.

>> Really? >> Yeah. At least the noodles reach the air now.

>> Yeah, just not my mouth yet. Payment problem. All right. Your total is $18.50.

>> Okay. Yeah, I'll pay by card. >> Sure, you can tap right here. >> Okay. Done.

>> H uh it didn't go through. >> Wait, really? Oh, no. That's weird. >> Yeah, it says payment declined.

>> Huh? That can't be right. I definitely have money. Yeah, sometimes the machine acts

strange. >> Uh, embarrassing. >> No, no. Honestly, it happens all the

time. >> Okay, can I try again? >> Yeah, of course.

>> All right, please work this time. >> H, still declined.

>> Seriously? Oh, man. Now I'm nervous. >> Don't panic yet. Maybe the connection is weak. Yeah, maybe. Um, wait, I have

another card. >> Okay, let's try that one. >> Here you go.

>> All right, processing now. >> Come on. Come on. >> Oh, yep. This one worked.

>> Oh, wow. Thank god. I was really starting to worry. >> Yeah, I could see that

>> for a second. I thought my bank blocked my card or something. M maybe check your banking app later just in case.

>> Yeah, good idea, actually. >> All right, here's your receipt. >> Thanks. And um thanks for being patient.

>> Of course. No worries at all. The unexpected sale. Oh, wow. Look at this place today.

>> I know. It's so busy. Something must be happening. >> Wait, up to 40% off.

>> Oh, now it makes sense. >> Yeah, no wonder everyone's here. >> Well, since we're already here, we

should probably look around a little. >> Honestly, just a little. >> So, what are you looking for?

>> Um, maybe jeans. >> Nice. I need a new hoodie. >> Oh, look at this one.

>> The gray one. Yeah, it actually looks really nice. Try it on. >> Okay, you disappeared fast.

I'm back. What do you think? Honestly, it looks really good on you. Really? Yeah, the color suits you. H. Okay, I

might buy it then. How much is it? $20 after the sale. >> Oh, wow. That's cheap, right?

>> Wait, look at these sneakers. Ooh, those are nice. I wasn't planning to buy shoes today.

That's how sales work. Seriously. Try them on. Okay. Okay. Well, oh no, they're really comfortable. That means

you're buying them probably. How much are they? $35. That's actually a really good deal.

Yeah, I can't say no to that. Of course you're buying them. Are you still getting the hoodie, too?

>> Yeah, I think so. >> Nice. Honestly, this was a lucky day. Yep. Best shopping trip in a while.

Yeah. Let's go pay before we buy more stuff. Good idea. Before we spend all our money.

Yeah.
