So what happened to the shipping 20K from Korea for 50K won?

I just went to the post and mailed home a package that was just over 2 pounds, I said ship it slow and the guy said that by ship it would take 2 months!!!!! So I said slow by air. Damn post office cost me 38K won just for a birthday present to be shipped! I'm talking about two plastor korean dolls for my niece.

The guy at the place felt bad I think and he asked me if I wanted a present!? He ended up giving me two rollos of Jubang Ae Clean-Roll Rack!!!!!!!!! WTF am I supposed to do with this? I guess if I ever decide to freeze vegetables I'm set. Interesting experience, but I appreciated the gesture.

I wouldnt be surprised if prices went up. It's been cheap a long time and still cheaper than back home.

Yeah, unfortunately sending from the states to here is armed robbery.
