Yesterday, Teaven and I were able to go out and explore some of the city. Our first stop was Lotte Mart because I promised Teaven we could buy him a TV for his birthday so that he can play his video games, and that's where we found the cheapest one. When we first arrived, we went to eat at Lotteria, which is the Korean version of McDonalds. We hadn't eaten a burger in over a month, so I was very excited. I really enjoyed it, but Teaven wasn't a huge fan (I think he was born in the wrong country.) He told me that he is realizing he doesn't really like American food anymore. I think he'd like it better if it was homemade.
Next, we decided to look at tennis shoes since I unknowingly left mine at home. Despite what we've heard about how hard it can be to find shoes that will fit, we thought we would try. The man who helped us was very helpful, and to our benefit, he spoke a little bit of English. We successfully found a pair of running shoes for me so that I can start to work out again. Now, because I wear a size 9 1/2 in American sizes and the biggest women's shoe they had was a size 8, I reluctantly had to buy men's shoes. Oh, well. They are very nice and will work well for me. :)
When we left Lotte Mart, we went home to set up the TV.
Once the TV was set up, we took a taxi downtown to walk around all the little shops. It was really fun. We found some cute wallpaper that I want to use for a craft project for our apartment. I'll post pics once it's done. Today, we are going with Jamie and Brian (the other foreign teachers) to E-mart so Jamie and I can get pedicures. Then, they will show us some cool places downtown. I'm excited.
I had no idea you were in Korea, how exciting! I attended a Korean church for one summer during college. Life in another culture definitely has it's ups and downs. I'll be sure to keep you in my prayers. May God richly bless y'all and use you as you serve Him! Jill
