9-5 or 8-5?

open at lunchtime i believe.

yeah, easy enough to send a box home even without korean. they'll know enough english.. and easy to figure out it if you're holding a big ass box with a foreign address written all over it.

i've usually used my own boxes.. but they also sell boxes there. either way.

guitars are tough.. i tried shipping one home years ago.. and they said that the regular post can't do that. not sure why.. and not sure if thats still true or not.

way back when.. i spent my day trying to find 'federal express' or some other service that wanted to charge me nearly as much as the guitar itself for air service - no ground service apparently.. and i got sick of walking around the city asking.

ultimately i just sold the guitar to another foreigner.. seemed easier.

maybe you'll fair better than i did though.

mmmm.. i hear ya. and i hope so.

I have a great 5string bass that I bought here specifically to bring back home

and I have a low-range Tanglewood acoustic that I rarely use but is handy to have.

Seems like an easy decision hey?

But did I mention that Ive been travelling all over Asia with the acoustic for about a year and it is covered with signatures and doodles from all the crazy mad folk and musicians ive met along the way.. that aint something im willing to part with!!
