And this is why I laugh when people whine about South Koreans spending too much time and effort worrying about their physical appearance.. It sure as hell beats the alternative Razz

Ah, the human race. The never-ending fountain of weird.

It doesn't mitigate any problems people might experience in Korea, but it sure is fascinating in a train-wreck kind of way.

Wal-Mart is something every non-American should experience at least once.

I agree with that. It's just one of those things that if you haven't seen it for yourself, then you should. That goes the same for E-mart (for different reasons obviously). Every non-Korean should experience it.

E-mart is tame compared to Walmart. People watching at walmart is great. I feel uppity when I tell people I prefer Target. Laughing

My comment on E-mart has nothing to do with people watching. Wal-Mart is special in that respect for sure. E-mart has other qualities that make it a "special" shopping experience.

You talking about how people block aisles with carts and run in to people? Luckily I've only been hit once by a cart. And it was by a woman who was handling two wild little kids. So didn't really phase me.

You make your own conclusions on that, as I see you have already.

Why are you even posting in this thread if you're not going to say what the special qualities at Emart are?

Obviously those are some things that stand out at Emart. You already figured that out. Move along now.
