Yongsan and more

Today we decided to head to the infamous Yongsan Station where there is a huge mall that is mainly electronics. Yes, Jeremy was really hoping to get an iPod Touch while there. The mall is 10 floors, but the top two are an entertainment arena of some kind. Every floor we went to had all the same stuff: digital cameras, iPods, iPhones, Nintendo DS, phone accessories, etc. But they did have bedding, furniture, t.v.s, kitchen stuff, etc. When we had enough looking around, we decided to head to a booth to start buying an iPod Touch. Finally a person started interacting with us, so we asked a couple of questions, and the guy had us sit down while he went to retrieve the phone. Well, we had to wait some for the phone to come, but Jeremy didn't want to. We had plenty of places to go to that probably had the phone right there. Here's where it got a little weird. Jeremy said "No thank you, we will go to some other place." When he did that and started to walk away, the guy grabbed Jeremy's arm! He wouldn't let go, even when Jeremy said "Let me go." like 3 times!! It was very scary for me! So, we decided to head to another store entirely. First we got some food, then headed to a DVD seller. We got 4 DVDs for 10,000 won ($8 or $9).

One short road of the HUGE market!

Next we decided to head to a HUGE market that is like the Saturday Market in Portland. It was very fun to see it all! We definitely didn't see all of the market. Gives us another reason to go there again :) Finally, we headed to Itaewon (where all the foreigners go) to find the bookstore that sells English books. I found two, and Jeremy found one. We did some window shopping, and then got to see a parade! Not sure what the parade was for, but they had a group of very important people walking in the front, and following were people from all over the world. They also had some Korean dancing/performances, and a U.S. Army band playing. It was pretty cool! We had no idea that that was going on. All in all, it was a great day. Unfortunately, we didn't get to eat dinner at this awesome Fish and Chips place near home :( Maybe another day...
