from Cheryl: The shopaholic ;)
So my first week in Korea has gone by quickly. I've gone with my sister and brother in law to a lot of different restaurants and yesterday we went to a place called Songnisan - It is a big park that is home to a buddha that is 5 stories tall and worth about 4 millions dollars. Needless to say, it's buddha's birthday on May 1st, so there were colorful lanterns everywhere. It was really pretty ;)
In the meantime though, I must comment on the shopping here. I didn't think that I'd end up buying much (given that I believed 'hello kitty' might make an appearance on each and every shirt or skirt that I saw), but MY GOODNESS....the shopping is quite fun! There are a lot of vintage-y floral dresses and hats and scarves and other little gems that are quite CHEAP. But then again, maybe not so cheap when you load up on the stuff (as I have). I also like this store called 'skin food' that sells natural soaps and lotions etc. etc. I've yet to buy anything there, but I still have another week and a bit ;) And today, Heather, Adam and I were walking downtown and it was really hot so we planned on getting these waffles with whip cream and strawberries (which I realize is far from Korean), but we submitted to getting these soft serve cones (also not korean). Notice the shopping bag on my right arm. Truth of my shopping disability... And I'm also apparently VERY excited about the ice cream. Heather and Adam: Excited about the ice cream but NOT so excited that I wanted a picture of them with their cones ;)
I think that's about it for now. I've tried some different foods, and I'll post pictures of other random things, but I think that's about it for now. Hope you're having a great easter weekend ;)
