Off to the alley markets

My first full day in Korea and I'm already shopping to death. I grabbed pretty much anything that twinkled in the corner of my eye. There were so many cute things that I started finding excuses to buy stuff..... "Yeah, I think my friends need socks. Maybe they could use a cute sparkly hair clip to go with it. How about a matching soju key chain with those car keys?" :)

I like shopping in the alley markets. They always have the most random things that you would never think of yet, somehow you find a way to need it. *or maybe that's just me*

Man, Korea has the best taxis I've ever seen. Of course they're all Kia's or Hyundai's, but still. I have yet to be in a taxi with leather seats, matching leather roof interior, chrome outlining on the exterior, high tech GPS system, and the skilled crazy swerving taxi man driver to go with it all under $5 here in the US. Not to mention the drivers are actually normal looking men.....not the bum, perverted, creepy ones I always wind up getting back home. Not only is the ride nice, but the fare is super cheap!! I think the most we paid was $15, and that was for a 40 minute drive outside the town.
Ahh, I can still smell the open market smell. Oh, one thing I will always stick by- use the bathroom before you go out and about. I drank too much coffee and winded up prancing around for a toilet. Yeah, I found a bathroom all right---------- But I haven't had to squat since I was like.....4?? I just held my bladder until we got to a restaurant....Didn't want to chance pee running down my thigh....hahaha. Plus, I need to step up my shoe closet. All the women here wear heels.....even in the rain and mud! Talk about dedication to beauty and fashion..... *sigh*
