bump

I'm going back to the US soon, so I'm wondering if anyone has any new ideas. Here's what I'm thinking so far:

hanji (the special paper from Jeonju that's unique to Korea and used for everything from room partitions to handkerchiefs)

chopsticks and spoons (if I can find some really authentic-looking ones)

sesame/perilla/sunflower/pumpkin seed candy

teas (five-flavor, pine nut)

Also, does anyone know where I can get souvenir items more cheaply than in Insadong?

I'm taking back metal chopsticks and my diary of all of the chaos and stupidity that I experienced here.

I'm sorry, but you lived here for more than a couple weeks? How does this info escape you? Smile


Considering how many different types of "gim" there are, I'd say "anyway" did a fair job of explaining exactly what kind he/she meant. And did it without being rude or condescending.


You're right. Rolling Eyes


Where did anybody say they didn't know what kim was? You sometimes come across as a strange, horrible old man in your posts.
