ha ha ha it's SOOOO cute !!!!

about 2 foot tall, lights and decorations already on it - of course it's plastic duh

but I love it - lots of silver bows

15,000 won - hey - and can be used again next year (or not!)

so if you are interested - here's the directions:

Sinchon station - on the green line - the one near Hongdae (think there's more than one)

Exit 8 walk straight towards the traffic light - Hyndai Dept Store is across the street

just before the light, you'll see a little flower shop - the streets are crowded, lots of stores etc, vendors, shoppers - but you'll see his little trees if you are looking; he has some out front.

*and he has some smaller ones - maybe 1 ft - for 10,000 won - if you are really cheap or don't have much space

these are the kind that once they're sold, that's it - no more - !! in fact, I don't believe I've seen these before because it really is my FIRST Christmas tree here in Korea - even tho I've spent several here.

HO HO HO everyone - !!! am gettin' in the spirit already !!

I have a big pot plant (as in a plant in a pot, not anything illegal) with student-made paper chains draped on it. I like to get into the festive mood when I'm far from home.

It's gutting that there aren't more Xmas lights around. The Koreans do neon so brilliantly, why not make a big show of it at this time of year?

You mean...

to get a Christmas tree I have to go to Hyundai Department Store in Seoul and it has to be that exact Hyundai Department Store...because it's not like every department store or mart in the country has cheap plastic made in china Christmas trees...........

or maybe I could just take a clicks on gmarket and get the same tree you bought for 6,000 won.

don't be a grinch-

I said it's ACROSS THE STREET from Hyndai - I bought it in a little flower shop!!

and who one earth would buy a Christmas tree off the internet???

I put mine up last night, too. I bought lights from Thailand last year for it. They have a colored burlap ball around each light, so the lights glow as opposed to shine. It was the hit of the neighborhood.

I'm gonna be up in that neck of the woods tomorrow afternoon; hopefully they haven't sold out

[Faunaki]

I want to put mine up but I am afraid that my cat will eat it. What to do? I'm thinking I'll decorate on Christmas day with the cat under heavy supervision, invite people over, party, and then take it all down to save myself the hassle and my cat a trip to the vet.

I was checking out the big ones at Costco, just not sure if I want to go all out and buy all the lights and gear and such.
