About Andrew Tisue

After graduating from the University of Minnesota with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture, I made the decision to move to South Korea with my girlfriend Amanda, so we could experience a completely foreign culture and country while enabling us to reflect on our recent education, and make plans for our future.

Time to buy groceries

Here's a peak at what grocery shopping is like in Korea, or rather, what we bring home after grocery shopping. We went out tonight to replenish our refrigerator and tried a new store we hadn't been to yet. It turned out to be really nice; the selection was good, it was clean, the music wasn't horribly irritating and the people working were really friendly and generous. When we were eyeing-up some bread the baker offered us some fresh bread samples that were really good. And then we turned around and saw the meat that we were looking for and asked for some. The butcher loaded up a bag and we said, that's good. Then he went and grabbed another huge scoop, doubling the amount of meat, and we said no no! But he just smiled and said service :) while only charging us for the first scoop. I think we'll go back!

Dumplings, Hite beer, Budweiser!, wine, orange juice, milk, syrup, 4 cans cider (pop), cheesy bread, 1200g meat, chicken breasts, garlic cloves, squash, soup, mushrooms, red pepper, yellow pepper, tomatoes, onions, rice cake chip things, & spaghetti sauce

 One of our most successful and delicious meals so far :)

 The receipt. They are typically quite useless for us, only coming in Korean. Our total was 48,410 won: $42.64 USD, not bad!
