One particularly funny memory we have is when we went to
E-mart one evening. We were there for a
while and with three floors of stuff to look at, we were all over the
place. What makes it funny is that there
was old man just staring at us. On the
third floor, there he was. Second
floor—same. 1st—same. We were checking out and he was outside the
checkout area staring away. “He’s
following us!” We couldn’t help but
chuckle a little as there was never an attempt to conceal what he was
doing. He stayed standing off to the
side—body facing us and looking our way.

| One part of Dongdaemun area |
One weekend about a month after we got to Korea, we decided
to venture into Seoul. We headed to some
of the popular tourist shopping
areas: Dongdaemun, Namdaemun, and
Myeondong. Really and truly, they are nothing
special. They have tons of shopping but
nothing I wanted. Plus, the prices were
a bit steep. I’m used to TJ Maxx and
Marshalls—great clothing—low price! So we spent our day walking—a lot of
it. We walked so much. Then we came to a stop—why—we smelt Krispy
Kreme. Could it be so? Yes, there was the sign but where was
it? We had to follow our noses which led
us into the shopping mall. But we didn’t
get any. It is the equivalent of $12 for
a dozen glazed. In the states, the same
is only $6. We passed on donuts and
continued our journey soon making our way back home.
