Korea, Money and Gumi!

(We visited Gumi again!! It has been forever since we've gone to gumi!!)




We went shopping in Gumi!! At the HomePlus there!! We love shopping there, everyone is VERY friendly to us! Not only that it is fairly cheap. Up above are photos of their "Alcohol" section haha.  Which brings up Korean drinks. One of the most popular "Alcohol drinks in Korea" is Souju. The photo of it is right above. It is a clear liquid that is...almost tasteless! It is used to mix with things. 


The HomePlus is very similar to a Wallmart in America. However, it obviously, has more Asian foods/items and such. It has the most AMAZING snacks!! Very yummy and quiet addicting if I say so myself. We enjoy shopping there alot!! (As you can see below, more then just a "few" snacks!!)


Then after we were done shopping there was a restaurant inside the Home Plus called "Ashley" (Well it had letters before it in Korean but the American words were "Ashley". So we went in to get some food and it was a buffet!! It was sooooo yummy!!



Tanya was in LOVE with the place!! And I loved the food so it was a great turn out! Not only that the people were super nice to us (Even though most of them didn't speak english obviously!)


Last but not least Tanya had her first taste of Chocolate!! In a sucker!! She went crazy but when she had about 1/4 of it finished we had to take it away because she was being waaaay too hyper. Lesson learned. Other then that, that day went great. Then the day before that we went to Daegu.


Tanya loves trips to anywhere because she's really liking the car now. Also she likes to look out and see how everything is moving past her!! After we were done with errands in Daegu we went back to Waegwan...and here are some photos I took exploring!!









And last but not least...I realized I never showed people what Wan/won looks like. The Korean currency. So here it is ladies and gentlemen!



(In short...that's about $800 dollars...which is almost a million won. We withdrew it to pay bills and such)
