THE AMOUNT OF DEPENDENCE

When I first came to this city, my heart was very nervous and trembling.
Because people feel uneasy when they are in an unfamiliar environment.

I came to a foreign country for the first time. Of course, I had a lot of anxiety and needed a place to depend on.

Moreover, it was very difficult to meet Koreans in this city.
It was the supermarket called "TESCO" where I came to solve the problem that I faced for the first time with such a mind. Ever since I found this place, I visit here every day. There, I was able to find food, cosmetics, and various necessities for life. It has always been useful to me. The first was very much, the next day was a little more. I was able to adapt to this life and this city.

It took me two weeks to stay in this city. All I have left is the envelopes and receipts I received when I bought the goods. This is evidence that I have relied heavily on my dependence there. Dependence has fallen over time, which means I am getting used to it.

VESTIGE — RECEIPT

At first I had to buy everything from one to ten. TESCO provided me the best service.

I could get everything from shampoo to food.
I felt as if I had met an oasis in the desert.
