On Saturday (Sept. 1st), two busses left our school full of teachers, and their kids, ready to shop for the day. Songtan is a shopping area just outside the Osan American military base about 1 hour north of Daejeon, and it is full of interesting little shops. Traditional Korean celadon pottery, fancy purses, clothes and a black market full of North American food items (such as Kraft Dinner, Skippy peanut butter and Quaker oatmeal) - these are just a sampling of items you can buy. The highlight of a trip to Songtan is eating lunch at the Thai restaurant there; very yummy, indeed. It was a fun day of socializing and strolling (albeit in the rain), and a nice way to end a busy week.
