There is a place here on Camp Casey called the Pear Blossom Cottage. It is for spouses to hang out, meet each other, use a real kitchen (not all apartments here have ovens), wash clothes, take classes and go on field trips. One such field trip we went on was to the Yangju Flower Market. It was about a 2 hour subway ride to get there. Then, we grabbed a taxi and hoped the taxi driver knew where to go... especially since we really didn't know where we were going. LOL! They had flowers everywhere! The prices would knock you over! 10 roses from $2.00-$3.00! At prices like that, you can get a LOT of roses!!! There were so many different kinds of flowers. There was a section of fresh-cut flowers, greenhouses, silk flowers and floral accessories and a section where they made the most beautiful floral arrangements. I bought some roses (forgot to take pictures of the ones I bought) and some mums for about $4 per plant. It was a neat trip, but I probably won't be making that trip often as it is so far.
