Hi Everyone!

Saw the forum and cant help it but comment. I had been coming back and forth Georgia since 2014 til early this year before I met my fiance and we decided to settle down.

I stayed mainly in Duluth in the initial years then last year at Flowery Branch. I love Pleasant Hill because it is pretty much packed with asian goodies and since I am from Philippines.

Buford Farmer's Market Basically have a section for Philippine products, they have awesome baked pastries too.

Welcome :)

Asien food is pretty easy to find in Georgia so you are lucky that way.

Yep we also shop at the Farmers Marked once in awhile when I need a few thing :)

Which Duluth Farmers market are you referring? I've taken my husband to a couple in the area and he doesn't seem to be impressed but then again....he shows little expression towards anything.

Duluth farmer's market is right at i-85 exit 103. Across marriott residence inn beside home depot?

I think it is smaller as compared to the one in buford. I dont see much in duluth's farmer's market apart from typical sections + korean section + hispanic section.

I used to lived in pineland road right across duluth's farmer's market 2014 to 2015 before i moved to norcross then flowery branch. Used to shop there a lot as it is closest, then publix in pleasant hill.

...and thanks all for the warm welcome :)

Hey guys, how's everyone doing? I've been busy with looking for jobs and finding apartments process. We have decided to renew for another year since we don't want to go on hassle to move furniture and changing addresses etc. Considering we have to pay another amount of application admin fees. But definitely next year we will move out because Comcast is the only option for our internet here and I HATE IT SO MUCH! They increase my bill monthly and gave reasons that there is increment for "interest fees, Broadcast fee" which doesn't make sense. And out of nowhere there is a "Payment and Credits" section where amazingly popup charging me 135dollars. Had to call them and asked and they said they made a mistake and told me to ignore it. WOW?

Thanks for recommending the Nam Dae Mun Farmer's Market, I will be sure to check that out. Usually I will just go to Duluth's H-mart for meats, Great Wall China Supermarket for my chinese sauces and rice is cheaper there by 4 dollars, and walmart for water and bread and some kitchenwares/toiletries.
Lately I have visited Buford Highway's Farmer's Market in Doraville lot bigger than the others, fascinated with the huge variety of food they have especially eastern european and asian ingredients which I couldn't find it and shipped from Singapore, there is also a Hmart nearby, its smaller than Duluth's but if you shop there with a student card, you will get 10% discount for groceries. I really like the new Kroger at Glenwood, the environment there is nice.

I havent been learning driving lately, the weather is too hot for me, I will probably wait till October to start learning again. I can't wait for real actual fall to come.

I went to visit Macon lately, went to sight seeing and visited the Ocmulgee temple/tomb which was 15,000 years ago. Its free to visit, there's so many people there playing pokemon go though.

Did lots of shopping at Tangler outlets too, if you want to buy clothes or kitchenware, huge discounts at Tangler Outlets, esp black friday.

So far I have been receiving rejection emails from jobs that I've applied :( Hope I get something real soon.

Glad to hear from you guys Vennie and Georgia16!

Oh yesh I found a bakery called Alon's Market, the cakes there are pretty yummy, do check it out! Its at 4505 Ashford Dunwoody Rd and 1394 N Highland Ave NE Atlanta

Good to hear from you! ...

I'm sorry your job search is not paying off just yet. I'm sure it will happen.

I could not wait on getting my DL I'm waiting SO impatiently for my EAD so I can get it! Will make our life so much easier! ...

Seems crazy with your internet! ... There must be another way to get some other internet.
