a lot of places started closing up last fall

IMO I think it's because so many people download torrents now, prices are also dropping - when were they ever 4 or even 5 for 10,000?

anyway, there are still many to be found in Technomart on the East Side;

also the latest releases there are guys set up on Gangnam both sides of the street, 4 for man won, good films, good selection

I bought some cheap DVD's in Itaewon on the Banpo side of town a week ago and the man showed me a piece of paper written in English that said he'd be away for a couple of weeks...I don't remember what the reason was...The explaination was not very clear.
