Yangjae Flower Market

Finally, summer has come! After the long, cold winter, spring passed by quickly with rainy days, and now summer is here! These days, when I go outside, I can feel the almost unendurable heat of the hot summer of Korea. Today I went to the Yangjae flower market with my parents because we wanted to buy some flowers to decorate our veranda with. At the flower market, a variety of flowers were being sold at cheaper prices than they are usually sold in smaller flower markets. I think this is because at the Yangjae flower markets, people sell large amounts of flowers at a time while at smaller markets, people sell flowers in little numbers which give them less profits. Although I wasn’t really excited to go to the flower market at first, when I got to see all the different flowers at the market, it was nice to notice the signs of summer and freshness. Also, there were many kinds of flowers that I had never seen before because many of the market people made new species of flowers by mixing two or more different types of plants. Right now, my house is decorated with many flowers that I bought today so it feels like summer has reached our house too!
