There was quite a lot of agricultural land which seemed to be mostly rice, also lots of greenhouses, several other smaller cities and it was fairly mountainous. I am not sure tropical is the word as their temperatures aren't too much different from Canada or the US. They get snow in the winter but normally the temperature doesn't go much below 10C (15F) and in the summer it can get hot and humid. Having said that there are lots of forests that do sort of have a "tropical or jungle like" feel to them.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-64608488428268992362014-10-09T10:05:20.799-04:002014-10-09T10:05:20.799-04:00Yes, we have.

We found a health food store that had corn tortillas which we bought and they also had some homemade gluten free desserts that they sold by the piece so we picked up a couple of those to split between us. After that we went to a local shop that sold groceries, just a small shop not a big supermarket. Prices were a little more expensive than we were expecting. I think the markets would be the best place to shop for most products but we didn't have one that close by.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-32491280051404232962014-10-09T09:59:22.248-04:002014-10-09T09:59:22.248-04:00We are actually very happy and very surprised at o...We are actually very happy and very surprised at out clean the room is. It has all the amenities that we need for a hotel room. Our only issue was that we had mosquitoes in the room last night which we thought was odd.<br /><br />Kevin had an rice with a plain egg omelette covering the rice and then a very spicy tomato sauce with seafood. I had was is called bibimpab, which had rice, beef, vegetables and mushrooms. Kevin had to scrape the sauce off of his meal and pick out the seafood in it because it was REALLY spicy but otherwise he liked it. Mine was very good.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-78377428125930439972014-10-09T09:52:41.856-04:002014-10-09T09:52:41.856-04:00It sure is and just imagine the mouthful if you ha...It sure is and just imagine the mouthful if you had to say that in Korean. ;-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-42982571637339682802014-10-09T09:49:03.492-04:002014-10-09T09:49:03.492-04:00Thanks Kenny and Angela!Thanks Kenny and Angela!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-27634184559678570462014-10-09T09:48:29.097-04:002014-10-09T09:48:29.097-04:00June already said that she would be your guide, so...June already said that she would be your guide, so what's stopping you!
