Namdaemun Market

Well, we ventured out again this evening. We were finished being adventurous with food. So, we settled for Burger King. Rusty stole a fry off of another girl's tray at the counter. He thought it was our order and it wasn't. Typical of Rusty!! Mom and I just laughed and Rusty was so embarrassed and that is not something that happens very often. But many of you know, we get more laughs out of Rusty than any where else.

We are beginning to get the hang of the subway...we are pretty good on transferring and figuring out the stop we need, but getting out of the subway has been confusing. The subway has several different exits and it's confusing to figure out which one we need to take so that we are closer to our destination...we are getting better. Either way, it's still a TON of walking. Even with my tennis shoes, my feet hurt. Another confusing part of the subway is the way people walk up and down the stairs and hallways. It's opposite of us. If we are going up the stairs we stay to the right, but they stay on the left. I'm reminded I'm on the wrong side when I look up and see all these people walking toward me.

We got to Namdaemun market around 7 pm. Some of the stores/booths were closed but many were still open. We had A LOT of fun. This was my favorite place to shop. And that is exactly what we did. Souvenirs for everyone!! Here are some photos...



Get ready for another laugh at Rusty's expense...while we were at the market a man walked up to Rusty and rubbed his tummy and then put his ear to it...as if he were pregnant. Rusty just laughed and said, "9 months!"

I almost forgot...of course we got a hanbok from the foster mother, then mom bought her 2 more for when she gets older. When we were leaving the market I saw dog clothes and I had to check it out. Then, I saw a hanbok for Hercules!! Can you believe I found one for him?! I can't wait to get their pictures taken together!!


Well, we are going to get as much packed as we can tonight since we may be a little preoccupied tomorrow evening. But, we'll update after we get Kelsey tomorrow.
