Friday, June 25th continued...

      ...after working hours on catching up on our blog and downloading our pictures of the last couple days, Kelly and I headed out of the apartment to do some more exploring before Aaron came home from work. Kelly had seen a sign "Sharon Christianity Department Store" on a nearby building, so he wanted to check it out.

Located on the Second Floor, it was a true Christian Book Store, that had everything for sale from large murals of the Last Supper and Moses Crossing the Red Sea, to Wooden Pulpits, to Vestments, to trinkets, to tables and shelves of books, and "Sunday School Materials".  Kelly had a nice talk with a lady there. She attends a  Korean Presbyterian Church. They had an interesting talk about Christian authors.. (Joel Osteen and Rick Warren's books were for sale there...) She spoke excellent English and helped us translate some Korean note cards.

We enjoyed an afternoon treat at a fun cafe and headed back up to wait for Aaron. After he arrived we put our last load of dirty clothes into his apartment washing machine, and headed out of the apartment.

It was our hottest day so far this vacation. Aaron said it was around 30 degrees C and with the humidity the 86 degrees F was uncomfortable and made walking to the subway no fun picnic... so we hailed a cab!  We are real pros now with the subway as we headed over to Bupyeong Station...

We were treated to quite a sight so far!  Massive amount of people... elbow to elbow and the largest subway station so far that we have experienced!  The Bupyeong Station boasted a large underground Shopping Mall of rows and booths of Cell phones... clothes... shoes... jewelry... food court...

We found ourselves in the Indian Food Booth where we dined on Chicken Curry, Lamb and Chicken Kabab, and Samosa (filled pastry with potato, chick peas, green peas, and curry).. Yummy!

After exploring the underground shops, we traveled upstairs and out where we were treated to more stores, vendors, and people enjoying the Friday evening.  We had a beer and Coke in "Woodstock". A bar frequented by "Westerners"... We listened to familiar "English Lyric Songs", while a Korean Soap Opera ("Drama") played on their flat screen TV...

We returned to the underground shops and then headed back to the subway to return to the Woninjae Station.. we purchased and enjoyed a pastry (hard boiled egg wrapped in a donut like pastry) as we walked back to the apartment.

We visited with Dan Schwanbenbauer and Aaron for a bit.. before they headed out and we headed to bed.. a relaxing day and evening... as we get ready to celebrate Aaron's 27th birthday, on Saturday, June 26th...
