3/28 Talk about rest areas on Korean expressways.

Highway rest areas or rest stops in Korea are not just pit stops.

* rest area/stop: 휴게소

ex> The next rest area is 15 kilometers away.

* pit stop: (여행 중 가는) 화장실

They are more like a one-stop full package service.

The restrooms are huge in size, so you don’t have to wait in line to use them.

* The swimming pool at the hotel is huge in size.

If you are hungry, you can head over to the food court. They sell everything from hot noodles to dumplings to Korean stews.

* head over to: ~으로 향하다

ex> We usually head over to the cafeteria for lunch.

And of course, they always have a convenience store where you can buy stuff and a gas station where you can fill up your gas tank.

* buy stuff: 물건을 사다

ex> I need to buy stuff for my camping trip.

* fill up one’s gas tank: 기름을 넣다

ex> He uses his company credit card to fill up his gas tank.

ex> Is there a gas station where I can fill up my car?

@ Can we pull over/up at a rest stop?  휴게소에 잠깐 들를 수 있어?
