Why don't you make one? They aren't that difficult, just a bit time consuming.. |

I remember back in kindergarten out of colored paper and glue like stuff, we made these, with the assistance of the teacher, in the form of a jackass. I then beat it with a hammer until it broke apart revealing.....CANDY!!!
It stems from Mexico. I think it was a Cinco De Mayo, May 5th thing. |

I think I've seen them at Namdaemun Market. I've definitely seen them on Gmarket.
N.B. the last time I saw a pinata being cracked open was last summer when I was home and at a bar, and all I remember were colourful condoms and lipsticks flying everywhere. |

I've seen them, but since I wasn't looking into buying one, I don't remember how much they were. Seems like this would be a better project than just bringing one in. Besides, knowing Korea they may have gotten them from the same place your old bar did!  |
