Hidden Treasures Unearthed

What a day!  Thursday night, one of our summer interns told us about a hamburger place within walking distance (translation - within a 3 mile radius) of our dorm. He guarantied a real American hamburger! So, Friday morning, we set out in search of said restaurant, planning on arriving for lunch. On the way, in an area we've wondered through before, lo and behold... a Presbyterian church with an English speaking service. Much, much closer (translation -  a 35-40 minute walk in low heels) than the church we've been attending. TREASURE # 1!


A few short blocks away - TREASURE #2 - PLAYBURGERS. And sure enough, hamburgers are what they serve. About eight different kinds are on the menu.  Koreans have difficulty leaving something "plain" but with high hopes both Doug and I ordered a "plain" hamburger, potato, and salad. Despite the fact that our hamburgers did have a sauce, the potato was a fried patty, and the salad was covered in some type of mustard dressing - (where do they come up with these things?) , we are calling it, TREASURE # 2.

Finally, to Doug's absolute delight, two stores down from Playburgers, a donut shop selling a multitude of various donuts. The first donuts, I might add, that actually taste like what we call donuts. Hence,TREASURE # 3!

Donut shop!
So, delighted with our finds,we walked home with our box of 6 donuts in hand, stopped at the store for a few groceries and spent the evening playing our 200th game of Ticket to Ride.
Penance supper after treasures number 2 and 3.
