Score!!

I went over to the World Mart that I had heard about. There was quite a bit of useful ingredients. The only thing I bought today was a lychee drink. But they did have fresh herbs, lots of coconut, and curry pastes. There was also another international food mart across the alley, but it was mostly a little cafe/restaurant with a few shelves of the same stuff as World Mart. On the way home I stopped by the school to grab Justin. It is market day, so we went looking for some plants. I've been wanting at least an aloe vera. We were in luck. We found a huge aloe for only 5,000 won ($4.04), and a nice size rosemary for 3,000 won ($2.42). Then, on the way home, there was a hoddeok (think that's the name of it) vendor. They are these awesome little pancakes with gooey cinnamon goodness inside. They were nice and hot and only 500 won (about 40 cents) apiece!! We totally scored!!

  2. The one that I went to today was here in Osan. There is also one in Itaewon that is fantastic. It is bigger and has more of an international selection. It was nice to have one so close to us though, with at least some things that I will use.
