Is anything open?

I want to go shopping for electronics, but I think everything is closed... not even an e-mart open. Ugh!

All the big stuff will be open. Only a few things seem to be closed here in Busan. However, when we lived in Cheongju a lot was closed for solar new year. I guess it depends on where you are

It all seems completely normal to me...the usual Sunday mile-long line of cars waiting to get into Emat-er. I live opposite Emart and I can assure you...it's open. So are all the convenience stores.

Maybe you should plan ahead. It isn't like New Year's Day was sprung on you by surprise.

Riddle me this bat man...

How is it you are sober enough to even think about leaving bed before 7PM, and only doing so to order some delivery fried chicken and dick around on Dave's with the most wicked of hangovers? It was fucking New Years last night!
