Korean Job Discussion Forums

Wiki has good links to articles and sources including a recent article by Fortune magazine showing nothing's improved in about a decade.

In other words, people who should be aware of issues of exploitation - such as foreign English teachers in Korea - are still not demonstrating ability to empathize with those who do the initial work creating the luxury products they enjoy.

This, despite the fact that alternatives are clearly and obviously available.

Peter;

If you live in Seoul there's a mini chocolate store on the basement of Hyundai department store in Shincon that sell Cadbury. Once you get down to the subway floor walk toward the Hyundai dep direction keep on going until you see a mini ascelator that located on the basement, go down the store is about 50 metres to your left; it's next to a clothes shop. I believe the chocolates NZ imported.

I love Cadburys, so was pretty excited when I found it here in Seoul. But it's just not the same as back home (Ireland)!! Here, they only have Australian/NZ Cadbury chocolate. IMO its just not as nice. Ive never seen Roses here, only bars, like Whole Nut, Caramello and Dairy Milk.

Just get someone to send you some from home. My folks send me some every few months, and my sisters are visiting me next week, so Ive already given them a list of chocolates I want!! Cant wait!!! Even though its getting pretty hot these days, Im gonna be having some with a cup of tea!!

Yes, but it's more expensive to ship than the cost of the chocolates itself, which is why it's always a problem. I've noticed though they don't melt very often, what do they do to those boxes? I've had stuff in the post for two weeks without melting.

Chilgok homeplus had a range of cadbury products...i bought a shitload, at the moment there out of stock...

i hate hershys...

[aka Dave]

You can get Belgian chocolate here. If you like chocolate, I recommend anything Belgian, it truly is superior. Cote d'or is awesome, though I haven't seen that yet.

[PeteJB]

Yeah I've spotted Belgian chocolates, but I want Roses

[ricky_lamour]

There was a whole box of Fruit and nut slabs in Uijeongbu Home Plus.
Was.
Now its all in my tummy.
Sorry.

My absolute favorite chocolate in the world is by Dogoba!

http://www.dagobachocolate.com/

My favorite flavors from there are :

Roseberry (dark choc, rasp, rose hips)

Lavender (dark choc, lav, blueberry)

Latte (milk choc, coffee, cinnamon)

SO GOOD!!!

I'd kill for some chocolate right now. I've been on a diet and not really missing it but right now... Gimme.

Cadbury's is good, but I MUCH prefer GALAXY.

Creamier, richer.... less sugary...

You can buy it in any 7-11 / buy the way / mini mart etc....

It's called DOVE over here and I'm munching on a bar right now whilst I drink my freshly ground filter coffee. Only W1,000 for a small bar.

I never ate chocolate in Korea because it was only Hersheys that was offered which is not delicious at all. Cadbury is way better which I never saw or found in Korea.

[PeteJB]

I agree about Dove, I have a bag of Dark Dove Minitures right now in my fridge.

[ciccone_youth]

Oh all this chocolate talk is making me crave it.

I hate Hershey's too, it tastes like garbage.

I found Toblerone at the corner store, and I'm a big fan of Dove.

I also saw a nice selection of dark chocolate at HomePlus (Lindt maybe).
