This month I went a bit nuts buying pearls. Lots and lots of pearls. Triple strands, double strands, black with peacock shimmer, white, and all with knots. Glorious glorious pearls.

Last month it was sweaters.

Oh, and always cheese and wine.

You?

I'd say in Korea, hair accessories, shoes, and scarves. I go to Pyeong Hwa Market in Dongdaemun and come very close to exploding with excitement!

Black powder firearms. I not long ago won the bid on an 1864 .69 cal. Whitneyville Plymouth, which will be waiting for me the next time I visit my family home. I hope to have a .50-70 Remington rolling block, too, by that time.

Diamonds. Can't get enough of them; pink, crazy, you name it.
Jousting sticks; bit hard to fit in the overhead luggage though in the airplane.
Shortbread biscuits.
Coffee.

Cheese and wine, mostly. Fois gras and pate when available, but that's not so much an issue in Korea.

Jewelry is so much fun to shop for. It always fits!

Shoes and bags are next best.

Clothes shopping here looks like it could be fun if I could stick to my diet. Right now it's hit or miss.

Where's the best place for buying pearls in Korea?

Books. Luckily they are few and far between in this land, but if I visit What the Book I can easily fill my rucksack.

Expensive fresh juices, blocks of cheese, bags of Starbucks coffee beans, bottles of cognac, and jars of natural peanut butter.

Food and books. The only things I actually like shopping for.
