I took a run over to the grocery store, tonight, to pick up some veggies! Then, on my way home, I walked through the outdoor market to pick up the rest! The last thing on my list was cherry tomatoes. I knew of a lady who was selling a bowl of them for 1,000 won (89 cents), so I went straight to her. She shook her head, telling me in Korean, that the 1,000 won bowl of tomatoes weren't delicious, and that I should get the bigger ones for 5,000 won. Nice strategy lady... but you can't fool me! I grabbed one from the bowl, and sure enough, it was GREAT! So, I went ahead and bought them! She poured the bowl of tomatoes into a black plastic bag for me and then literally reached her hand into a giant pile of cherry tomatoes and added about 4 heaps more to my bag! I kept saying, "Wow, thank you! Oh my gosh, Thank you!" With a big smile, she handed me about 150-200 cherry tomatoes for... 89 cents!
She's definitely my new favorite market lady!
