It’s been another good couple of weeks here in sunny South Korea. Parky and I went to Sancheong last weekend, up near the Jiri Mountain range. We saw some sweet land up there and may have even changed our prospective address of our prospective farm, which is years down the track but nonetheless something we are dead set on. We had always thought that Goje (on the sea) would be our residence of choice, but Sancheong (on 2 rivers and a few big lakes) look very nice and less cluttered. Sancheong is quite pretty, it has good water (even in winter), it is much more sparsely populated and hence more to my liking. Parky also found a hog she likes and wants one for herself.

I started work for Parky last week and am loving it. I am trying to find a way to make 4 hours per day, 4 days a week for a full wage sound funny, but it just beggars belief anyway you put it, so I will just leave it at that.

We became card carrying Costco members today. Costco rocks! So much crap that I haven’t ever been able to find here in Korea for 4 years, all there in one store. We got:
1) 16 tins of crushed tomatoes.
2) Asahi beer (half the price of normal)
3) Aussie beef. (less than $40 a kilo)
4) Affordable chicken breast fillets
5) Chicken stock (8 litres)
6) Dill
7) Thai sweet chilli sauce
8) Great coffee ($13 a kilo)
9) Tortillas
10) Lasagne
11) Avocado
12) Asparagus
13) Spanish salad onion
14) Coriander
15) Fajita seasoning
16) Tortellini
17) Ravioli
18) Camembert
19) Blue vein cheese
20) Salami (3 kinds)
21) Ementaler cheese
22) Tortillas
23) Croissants
24) AND … SOUR CREAM!!!!!!!!!

Not being readily available in South Korea, it was as pricey as you might think it would be and a little more. I you want to work out how much we spent in Costco today, Aus$1=750won.
