I, knowing much better, threw paper towels in my toilet on Friday night, and now it's clogged.

I thought the clog was gone, but now it's not flushing again. I'm new to the country, so where the f do I find a plunger? I've walked around the shops in my neighborhood and couldn't find anything. I'm assuming Lotte Mart would have them, but in what department? Every time I go to that place I get kind of frazzled and freaked out. I also don't want to go up there in the rain and find that they don't sell them.

Help! I need to be able to pee freely!

Oh dear. Find a smaller hardware store, I'm sure you can pick one up from there, but it is Sunday. Can't you just pee down the drain like most Korean girls do?

That's um, what I did this morning. I still need my toilet...

I thought about smaller hardware stores and was keeping an eye out for them as I walked around a few min ago on my plunger hunt, but I didn't see any. And I'm seriously brand spanking new, so I don't know where exactly they are.

A number of small stores such as 7-11 and the like may have them...that's where I bought mine.

OK, so it's 9, I still haven't found a plunger. I tried 7-11 and the other convenience type stores.
How late are Lotte Marts usually open? It's raining, so I dont want to go up there and find it closed.

Where are you located?

Too bad you're not around Hyewha station. I've got an extra out by the garbage can (which they don't seem interested in taking away to the dump). Kinda gross, but you can have it... it's used.

You can get them at any small hardware store. Try E-mart, too.


It would be near hardware and electrical plugs and stuff.

I agree, a used plunger is gross.

I totally would have taken it.

I ended up going to Homeplus and getting one.
