Ok, so we FINALLY picked up our truck recently and started exploring off base. A few weeks ago Caroline and I went with some friends to E-mart, which is kind of like the Korean version of Wal-mart. This was also my first attempt at driving our F-150 4x4 on the small streets of Korea. I am happy to report that it’s not that bad and the Koreans definitely let me rule the road :) Parking is a different story…
E-mart is 3 stories tall and includes clothes, household goods, electronics, and a huge grocery store (with very interesting food!). I didn’t buy many things, but I did purchase pink practice chopsticks for Caroline :) She’s still a little too young, but I know she will use them one day. In the meantime, Sean uses them ;) Here are some pictures from our adventure.
Oh, on a side note: Koreans LOVE children and they are obsessed with Caroline! While we were visiting the DMZ (which I will blog about soon) Sean was walking around with Caroline on his shoulders and an old woman was squishing her face and kissing her on the cheek and actually tried to take her off of Sean! Thankfully, Sean didn’t let her.
Three kiddos in the back seat! Caroline, Garrett and baby Quinn :)
A kimchi buffet, yum!
Popular rice balls with nuts inside (sorry, I can't think of any other way to describe it!)
Meat on a stick, also a popular snack
Not sure...but weird looking
Live crab tank, Caroline loved to watch the crabs
One tried to escape!
Not sure what that says. To tell you the truth, I didn't really know what most of the food was!
But they DID has Spam!
The kids were exhausted afterward!
