Day 5: We headed out to Osan Airforce Base to do a little shopping for purses and blankets. We took the bus from Yongsan to Osan. When we arrived at Osan we were informed that I needed a chaperone pass to get Grammy onto base, the guy let us on anyway…THANK YOU kind sir. If he had not let us on, it would have been a huge pain in our backside. After we disembarked the bus, I thought we might have a problem getting back onto post (since the shopping area is right outside the gate) to ride the bus back home, so I did a little checking. Anyway, long story short, Grammy could not get back onto Osan Airforce Base to ride the bus home – we ended up taking a cab to the subway for our journey back home.
Grammy had a long list of purses to get for friends and family, so I introduced her to my purse lady. We shopped and shopped. Grammy was in heaven, and on a shopping high. Now remember I told you that most Korean’s don’t hug? Well, when Grammy finished shopping here, she got a hug from the purse lady, and this is why.....
We also stopped into the blanket shop for a few blankets. Below is a picture of Girl and Grammy having a great time shopping.
