				| I've seen all three at Costcos in Seoul.  Cherries were sold during season by street fruit peddlers in Seoul this year as well. |

				| If you don't have a membership to Costco - I've seen celery at my local Homeplus. It isn't cheap, though. |

				I don't think I've been in a large grocery store that doesn't sell celery. You can get it at the local shijang where I live too.
 
 
Cherries in season only.
 
 
Asparagus I've seen it once or twice, max. Try the food centres in the basements of major dept stores like Hyundai or Lotte. |

				Cherries are a no go now.
 
Does anyone know where to buy Avocadoes (sorry to hijack the thread). I miss my Avacado and Chicken sandwhiches so much. |

Wal-mart near Yeoksam Station has avocados for about 4,000 won each. |

				I too saw avocados in Wal-Mart last year. A bit pricey, but existant.
 
 
Back to my original question:
 
 
Cherries I guess are out of season. Fine. But celery? Come on! I need it! And asparagus? Fresh asparagus, not the tinned Libby's crap with no tips I can get in Itaewon. 
 
 
An add-on:
 
 
Campbell's Alphabet Soup.

				I repeat.
 
Celery is all the rage at Grandmart in Sinchon station.
 
 
And it's 'avocado', not 'avacado'. |

				So you did.
 
 
There are also avakadoes at Grandmart for 5000 won.  Willing to pay that much? |

				Well those avocadoes were down to 1500 won yesterday.  A bit too soft to buy, though.
 
I guess nobody's interested in buying a 5000won avocado. |
