 hp korea took us to dinner at sonwon? gardens, which is owned by grace park's father. grace park is a famous collegiate woman golfer. the last time grace won a tournament, her father gave away meals for free that day. korean bbq of course. note hot coals! |

 soju is cheaper than beer (and there's 7 servings of soju in a bottle as compared to 1 serving in a can of beer). i suppose we should have known better... |
 shopping at a huge multistory mall, open all night. |
 korea is a major producer of sneakers and clothing. |
 it was tough getting on base to the military apartments to see brad and s.y. since i lost my driver's license. luckily they took my hp badge which had a picture (my passport didn't count (?) ). |
 on base, the grocery store (p.x.?) looks just like an american grocery store. i hadn't seen one of these in a while so i had to take a picture of the duncan hines cake mixes and schilling spices. also bought a 2 lb bag of toll house morsels!!! what a find!! the 4th of july decor is a bit over the top tho... |
