Emart

One of my favorite places thus far is Emart.  It's kinda like Super Target but bigger.  Much bigger.  At the one I frequent, there are three floors for shopping - groceries on the bottom, housewares and books and toys on the second floor, and clothes on the third.  Each floor is probably as big as a Target itself.  Then there is the "culture center" on the fourth floor where they offer classes.  And then there is a salon, tailor, photo shop, eyeglass shop, and an animal hospital sprinkled here and there.  Oh, and I forgot about the food court, which is where we went today.  Had lunch with Sam and ate Kalguksoo, but the kids were still hungry after dropping him off.  Since I had a return to make anyways, I thought they might enjoy a hamburger.  At Emart, they have McDonald's!

The food tasted pretty much the same! 

While doing our shopping, I couldn't resist taking a picture of this...



a Spam gift set!  I don't know why, but this always makes me chuckle.  I did enjoy Spam a lot during my childhood.  It's the best with mool bap.

The lunar new year is on the twenty third, and it's a big deal here.  Feels more like Christmas than it did at Christmastime.  I picked up a catalog just to see what they offered and here is a sampling of what I found.  (Note that Emart is a discount chain, I fear what prices would be at a department store)

 
 A box of meat, albeit really really good meat, but for about $600 US!  No, thank you. 

 

Ten dollar pears, anyone?

 A hundred dollars a pop!

This weekend we're headed to Busan.  Road trip!
