Today the boy went to school, but Wendall had the day off, so we went out for lunch and a stroll. Our mission was to find an English bookstore called "What The Book?". I found the website before leaving Vilseck, but had not been able to track down any information on the exact location, so we decided that the best time to search would be while the boy was elsewhere.
Turns out that the store is almost at the top of a hill in Itaewon. I'm sure the street has an actual name, but it is called "Hooker Hill" by most people. It is surrounded by bars that are off limits to the soldiers. It is also just down the block from the only mosque in South Korea.
After spending an hour or so at the store, we took our bags of books and headed to a Thai restaurant nearby. The food was very good, and it completed our perfect afternoon.
