It’s been a busy Saturday here in Gwangju for Whit and me.
We decided to give Korean classes another go and had our first lesson today.
We learned a lot in just two hours, including the word for eyes: nun; ears: kwe; mouth: ep; shoulders: ah-k; butt: ongdongay; and words that we can use in the classroom like: tuloseao (listen please!); unjusayeo (sit down!); and my favorite: naga! (get out!)
After Korean class we went to look at glasses we discovered in a downtown department store. They were 50 percent off.
So just how much were they? Frames, lenses, extra contact case and an eye exam: $50. That’s it. And our wait time? 20 minutes, chuseo. Oh. And no insurance required.
I’d like to tell Lenscrafter where they can stick their one-hour wait for a pair of flimsy $300 glasses.
Whit couldn’t not take photos as I sat in the Inspector Gadget glasses during the eye exam, reading aloud numbers in English to a woman who spoke Korean.
I love it. Could you have gotten that pair for $50? I think you look best in those =)

Yeah, I vote for the second pair. Okay, when we come to visit, I know what Jimmy will be wanting to do!

You are so lucky! I just bought by second pair – and the exam alone (which was in the back office of a sears department store) was $65!
