To: Me.....From: Me :)

Hello and HAPPY day from Tongyeong!!

I'm super excited today because I bought myself a little treat!! I decided it was time to get an iPod Touch, so today, Kami and I went on the hunt for one! After looking in all (the ones we know anyways) electronic stores in Tongyeong, we took a 30 minute bus ride to a nearby island to hunt there. Geoje Island is the second largest island off of Korea and thankful for us, there is a bridge from Tongyeong to Geoje! The town there is slightly larger than Tongyeong, so they have better shopping selection. There was a big shopping mall and Home Plus within walking distance of the bus station, so it was fantastic! Here are some pics of the view between the bus station and the shopping center!

There was somewhat of a 'flags of the countries' walkway, so we had fun looking at all the different flags.

Here's the US flag...represent!!

And here is the information about the US...look closely...just a few typos. ha.

At first I was so excited because I thought they had a Texas flag, but then I remember ours has more blue. Who knew that Chile's flag was like this?!? Not me!

Anywho, after looking at an electronics store, we headed to HomePlus to check out their selection. They ended up having what I wanted, so I bought my new iPod there! Afterwards, we headed to the local Starbucks (all in the same building!!!) to celebrate!

I also picked up some groceries that we don't have available here in Tongyeong and then we ate at Pizza Hut! Yummy!! Geoje was great for the couple of hours we were there. We're looking forward to going back when we have more time and when it's a little warmer out.

That's all for today...just had to share my exciting news! I hope everyone is doing well! Miss you all! :)

And a little reminder: I am now only 14 hours ahead of Texas time since SoKor doesn't participate in Daylight Savings Time. So if you wanna call, just remember I'm now 14 hours ahead!
