Walkin' Walkin' About Town

I left the house again this morning around 8:30 after noticing that my computer battery is running quite low. No real plan for what to do, other than running out to the stores. Since I haven't been on the subway yet I thought I'd run over to the 'new' (since I was here last!) subway stop in my old stompin' grounds in Suji. The station is about 1/2 block from my apartment, so conveniet, it's great! Of course I stopped at Starbucks and had a Vanilla Latte (Korean thing I guess), which was FABULOUS, and kept my hand warm on the way to the subway station! After much figuring out on the new subway ticket machines (a whole lotta buttons with a whole lotta writing!) I finally figured out how to buy my ticket (whatever happened to the ticket man??) and easily made my way down to the platform. When the train came my frozen bottom was VERY happy for the heated seats, and it was another moment of giddy happiness when I relaxed into my seat and looked around the train... life is so good.

I popped out of the station at a familiar shopping centre, and walked across the street to a new E-Mart (the local version of Wal-Mart) where about 20 store employees were clearing snow with shovels and brooms... unfortunately it didn't open until 10 and I still had 45 minutes to wait, so I decided to walk the few blocks (6 or 7?) to my old neighbourhood. Found the old pet store where I got Mags and bought puppy food and mats, wandered for a bit and then walked up to the computer room so I could check in. I noticed a pet shop in my neighbourhood last night so I'll check in there later to book her soon for a 'hair and nails' appointment on the weekend!

Well, it's just after 10 and the stores are open now, so I think I'll wander over and do my bit of shopping. I'll upload some photos once I've got my computer plugged in, I want (of course) to be able to edit them before I just slap them up. Soon you'll be inundated with more pictures than you can stand about what's going on around me - just wait for it!!  :)  More soon... S.
