After breakfast and some e-mail, I spent some time cleaning in the kitchen. Then I started auditioning fabrics for the borders and binding of the kingsize charm quilt. Yes, we are already using it on the bed, but eventually it would be nice to have it trimmed and bound. Then it was time to leave for the thrift shop. I got there at exactly 11am. There were plenty of books, videos, and DVD's. I did not finish them all before I left at 2:15. I bought a basket there for the take-it, shake-it, break-it luncheon. Maryann suggested a quilter's basket would be nice, and I agree. Then I called Julia to tell her I was on my way. I grabbed a subway train at Ichon, and met her at Sadang. From there we went to Jamsil. I have been to Jamsil before, for ice skating, but never realized that there is a shooting range in the same place - almost literally! We walked into the main office, and were tasked with picking a gun. It took me by surprise. Plus, not knowing anything about handguns, I had no data with which to choose. I went for the Baretta 'cause it sounded cool. Julia picked a luger. We were led to the foyer where we donned a protective vest and ear protection. First Julia went into the firing room. The attendant was with her the whole time. She had ten bullets (for 20,000 won).
When she had finished shooting at her target, he reeled it in. She brought it out. Then it was my turn. I was a little nervous 'cause the noise was so loud. My first shot was off, but after that I did pretty well. Even if the target was only 10 meters away. Then we stopped at Omuto Tomato for a bite to eat. We got a curry dish and a burger pot. Then we walked back to the subway. The train was crowded, and we had to stand. She got off before Sadang, leaving me to find my way back to the blue line. Thankfully I did get a seat there. I got home about 6. Chris was heating up supper. I listened to two more tapping audios, and had supper. Then we all watched two more episodes of X-files while I continued work on binding a quilt.
