Some of you might not know this but Den is stationed at a small Army Base in Korea called Camp Red Cloud. The base is located in a small city north of Seoul and the is very quaint. It has all the bare essentials like a small grocery store, a CVS like store, a couple of small fast food restaurants, a movie theater, as well as some other amenities. But our small little base does not even compare to the Air Force Base we visited over the weekend. We went down there to meet up with one of Dennis' friends who was flying in for the weekend and I have to say I fell in love. First of all their BX (which is similar to a Walmart) is HUGE! They sell every sort of American item that you would need while stationed in Korea. I even can buy some Clinique make-up, brand name perfume, or even some PINK lotion. Obviously those are the things that are important to my taste but they also sell flat screen TVs, clothing, shoes, and even brand new American cars. Our little BX does not even compare to what they have down in Osan. On base they have a little restaurant called Checker tails that is open 24 hours and serves breakfast all day along with other American meals. They also have two pools, one indoor and one outdoor. You can walk right off base into the little town and buy custom made suits and football jerseys for a very reasonable price and get some amazing food. But the best thing about the Osan AFB is that they have a Chili's. I walked in and felt like I was at the Chili's right back home in Florida. I got the chicken crispers (surprise, surprise) and couldn't be happier with life. So not a bad weekend but I am definitely a little envious of the people stationed down in Osan. They have it made.
I hope you all had a great weekend as well! It's raining over here since a tropical storm hit China but it always seems to be raining here so it's really no different then the usual. At least I have gotten a lot of wear out of my new rain jacket and rain boots though...which are super cute! I love and miss you all and I hope you have a wonderful week!
PS-Mom and Dad have fun at the lake house! Aubrey, take care of my boy : )
