Day Thirteen

Very nice day today.  Cold but clear and it felt good to walk around.  Since it was a day off, we made it over to Itaewon.  There are a lot of American shops but also neat little sidewalk vendors.   We were there for three hours.  You can definitely negotiate... even with sellers in the indoor mall.  We went with Erica (wife of a patient), Debbie (caregiver of a patient) and Dawn and Dave (the newest couple).   Mom and I were approached on the sidewalk by two female students who wanted to practice their English with us.  I had actually read that this would happen in a book I got on Korea (Culture Shock: South Korea).  Overall, good day.
