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. |

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!!
