Man, I hate the Emart between Sunae and Migeum stations. You've got to go through a cash register on each floor (except the basement), which means if you want to buy some food, a shirt, and an alarm clock, you've got to stand in line 3 times. It'd be sweet if the lines were all short due to this, but that's usually not the case. Moreover, the store is poorly organized and I always end up having to go back to the first floor to buy something that should be on the third floor and stand in the long-ass lines down there for a damn screwdriver that happens to be next to the cleaning items.

Not to mention the lack of a taxi stand.

Are there any better stores near Sunae? Kim's Club at Seohyun bites worse than Emart.

Carrefour at Ori?
Wal-Mart in Guseong (over the hill past Suji/Jukcheon)?

I used to go shopping in those two places...

Yeah, E Mart in Bundang bites, but I prefer shopping there to the one in Suji. Sure, you can shop on all three floors at Suji, but all this means is that everytime I want to buy one damn thing there is always a cart full of groceries in front of me. They never have more than two registers open. At least in Bundang I can get out quickly on the second and third floors. Carrefore in Yatap is a little better, but I really hate the gauntlet of men selling shavers I have to run just to cross the street to go up four flights of stairs to push my way through just to enter the store.

Maybe I am just not a shopper.

Carrefore is pretty good. I like to shop there, and I almost always run into my students, since it's not far from my school.

There's a CGV movie theater in the same building.

So what do I do? Just get in the taxi and name the store and get magically whisked there? That's what I do with Emart...I don't know Bundang very well yet. Need my steed.

Don't forget the LG mart(?) at Sunae Station.

I'd also like to know where the Suji E-mart is. Is that place new?

About 1.5 years ago I just new of the Wal-Mart. Just a 2500won taxi ride from Pungdukchon-dong.

Just so there is no confusion, there is a Carrefour at Yatap, and another at Ori.

PS - I like E-mart, 'cause they got pets. Makes the little girl happy. Both little girls, actually.
