You know one of the big complaints about Korea is how hard it is to buy a big towel. The kind you can wrap around your whole body. Korea department stores all seem to sell small towels. I was in Myeong Dong and I noticed a street vendor was selling big big beach towels. Might be a good solution if you're looking for a decent sized towel.

If its really important for you to have a big towel, you could just have some small ones sewn together. I do that with the blankets here. I like big towels, I can't remeber where I got mine, I think I bought it with me.

I like the wash cloths here, the ones that are made of that synthetic material. The invention was actually an important advancement in home accessories.

Yep, I got a couple of big towels from Emart in my fist week and they only cost 2000 won with a free flannel.

Costco towels rock. 10,000 each.

I recently learned that they make large bath sheets that they sell for babies. It sounds like they are everywhere now (thank goodness!) but if you live in some backwater, you might want to try baby shops for your adult-sized towels.
