Costco? It was very crowded on Friday. The food court ran out of hot dogs around noon. Yeah, it was pandemonium. If they run out of chopped onions there might be a riot!

E-mart was also very crowded. I saw a Korean man buy maybe 20 of those large Spam gift packs. It filled 2 shopping carts!

I need a nap!

If you could find a cheap place to buy gift boxes, you might be able to make money off them during these type of holidays.

You buy up a bunch of spam and tuna in bulk, put the crap in gift boxes and hawk the stuff on the street. The mark up the stores put on these box sets is crazy.

On second thought, you'd probably get deported. Another one of my genius plans falls by the wayside.

At Homeplus it was crowded. I think there were as many women in hanboks trying to help you pick out a Seolnal gift as there were shoppers. I can't complain too much however. The girl who helped me with the whiskey made sure to give me a coupon for it that I didn't know about previously.
