Osan

Clayton and I spent our 4th of July in Osan. Our first stop was lunch. I experienced my first taste of Korean food and it wasn't that bad. I know it looks like bacon in the picture but it was strips of sirloin. Its pretty cool cause they cook the food on a grill in the middle of the table. After lunch we went to the Village which is a big market where you can buy knock off purses, bags, jewelry, painting, etc. I bought a Coach bag! Clayton and I went into the store so I could look at purses and then man asked if I wanted to see the real ones. Naturally I said yes and he told us we would have to go down stairs. I just assumed it was another floor to this man stores. Clayton and I head down stairs and see the owner moving purses off the wall, then he removes the shelving unit from the wall as well. Next thing we know he pushes open this tiny piece of the wall, it couldn't have been more than 3 feet tall. Clayton and I follow him through the hole and there is just enough room for the 3 of us to stand. The tiny hidden room was where he kept his Coach and other big named purses. All I was thinking about while we were in the tiny closet of a room was what if the police decide to come in this store while we are literally standing in the wall. I grabbed a purse gave him the money and got out of there. I went into another store mainly just to see how good of a deal I got and that man took us to his attic to see his "real" purses. Once I got home and took my Coach out of the black bag the owner tided it up in and was really able to look at it I realized .... IT IS A COOCH! haha Instead of pretty cursive that says coach within all the C's in the fabric, it says cooch. Oh well! I LOVE my Cooch! It's a Korean Special. Clayton and I also went into a really awesome art gallery where you can get a large canvas painting for around $100. We are going to get some for the house we will one day have but couldn't choose. We have about 10 picked out. We have decided when we go back we are each going to pick one we like. After walking around we went to the Osan Air Force Base. You know the Air Force, they have to one up everyone else, so their post was Awesome. It was like being back in the states for a little while. We did a little shopping at the PX and then were off on our next adventure. Sorry I didn't get many pictures. If we go back to the Village I am going to try to get a picture of the secret hole in the wall with the purses. Korea is great thus far. Can't wait to get home and breathe some fresh air... the air quality is horrible here.
