to find it! Also, if you know whether the train or bus runs by the place, let me know that too. Are they open on weekends? Yahoo!

Costco in Korea
There are maps on the site, but they're terrible. Sangbong, yangjae and yangpyung are in Seoul, of the three, Sangbong is nearest to a subway stop. The Daejeon stop is next to one of the train stations but I forget which, and yes they are open on weekends.

If you are in gangnam close to the front of Pagoda you can take the 4424 bus which goes right to the Yangjae costco.

The one in Daejeon is walking distance from Seo-Daejeon Station. Exit the station, go to the main road where all the taxis are parked and make a left. It is a 5 minute walk.

I wouldn't bother. I went last week and I was well disappointed.

Visited one in Seoul once, not enough nice things to warrant paying the 30K membership fee.

If it's only a few things you want; how about http://www.ezshopkorea.com/ .

Handy if you only want some Oatmeal or something.

yeah, agreed. buuuuut, if u go in with a few of yr friends on the membership fee, u can use that 1 card to get in (granted that yr friend with the pic on the card is with u). i did this once with 4 ppl... no problem whatsoever, we just had to pay for everything together and divide the cost later

One of the things that I was after was porridge now that the braw chill nights are hither, but all they had was Quaker flavoured oatmeal retailing at a sporran-busting W22,000.

W22,000!!

I ask ye!
