So, I was at my local supermarket a few hours ago and I was waiting in line to get served. First an old lady stepped in front of me. Meh..it's new years eve, I let it slide. Then a man stepped in front of both of us. I wasn't happy about waiting in line longer but at least the old lady got hers. A worker of the supermarket was in line behind me buying something. I was about to buy for my goods when she grabbed my apples and started chattering. Now, I didn't know what was going on but I've learned to take things in stride here in Korea. So I let it continue. She talked some more and then she showed me what the problem was; there was a sizeable brown spot on one of them. She took them away and came back with some new ones.
Not much of a story really, kind of like time spent in Korea.
Just Joking.
Here's to another year in the Korea.
Happy New years everyone. |

Didn't you know, brown spots on apples cause cancer. You'd better increase your kimchi intake quickly if you happen to ingest any past-prime apples. |

Personally I think it's great when Korean women handle my apples, not to mention plumbs. |
