Cookie Monster

After Jason got off work on Saturday we all piled in the car and headed over to Seomun Market. This place is completely crazy. There are vendors EVERYWHERE with mountains of merchandise that practically spills over into the streets! We saw everything from clothing, to purses, to skin care products, to traditional Korean snacks (dried fish). I ended up buying a knock off Coach purse (not a great knock off, but not bad) for about $20. Jackson got some art supplies for less than a buck and we also got a HUGE bag of shelled almonds for like $5. As we were leaving the market (2 hours later and still not seeing everything) we happened upon the coolest vendor. This guys had a crowd around him so of course we were going to stop and see what was going on. Once we pushed our way to the front we realized it was a store full of all different cookies. Imagine it, barrels of all different kinds of cookies filling an entire store. SOLD! We grabbed a basket and started picking out a few out of every barrel so that we could take them home and try them all. Once we had all that we wanted, we handed them to the salesman who proceeded to sing to the crowd as he weighed and packaged them up for us. It was a really neat experience. To bad the cookies were not so great. They all looked so wonderful, but I really did not care for any of them.
