A tan suede couch that folds down into a bed. It also has one end that tilts up into a lounge-type thingie, but I doubt I ever use it that way. Costco, W300,000.
Fabulous for reading and napping. |

Are property & stocks accepted?

That would have been one of mine were the time-frame longer.

Plane ticket to Korea |
OiGirl, you've been here since before your Joined date, no? So this ticket to Korea was just the return portion of a round-trip ticket? Nothing wrong with including that as one of your greatest purchases of the past 12 months, but it seems like the kind of think a newbie might put on their list. So, is it that you're suddenly liking Korea a lot more? Or hating somewhere else a lot more? Yeah, none of my business, but what the heck. Explain yourself!  |

Where do you use your headphones? I've got a friend who rides the subway to work with these giant 'Welcome to the '70s' fugly things that cost him a month's rent. At home everyone I know cranks the music all they want, the way men should. No need for Princess Leia-sized earmuffy headphones. I can't see the point of big fat headphones unless one's a subway/bus commuter. |

On planes, trains, subway and buses; walking down the street, taking the rubbish out; working in a noisy open-plan office.
These are the noise reduction types. Once they are on, the outside noise is reduced to almost zero.
BTW, I don't listen to music, or very rarely do. Mostly, I listen to news and documentary podcasts and Korean lessons. |

Ticket to Seoul, though I was refunded for that
iPod 60Gb. I was an iRiver user in the past, but they stopped producing good high capacity DAPs.
Shure E500 headphones, absolutely fantastic sound, and good isolation with the foam sleeves.
I store these in a Pelican 1010 case, which keeps the whole lot protected against major falls, water and dust.

To be fair, the hardware is first class, apart from battery life, and the sound quality is excellent. It's the software and its restrictions that is the bigger pile of pooh. |

Have you looked at Rockbox? It is alternate opensource firmware for DAPs. I would not have bought an iPod if I could not have put Rockbox on it....

Drag and drop music on and off on any computer and tons of other features.
