It's mojito season. Has anyone seen any limes anywhere around the ROK?

Costco maybe? Can't guarantee it but they've got avocados, red onions, etc...

This is all I could find even remotely resembling limes. The fish translated Limes into this, but only things like clothing irons come up. 석회 sorry

limes are 라임

looks like 33000 for ten but you can get an extra 20 for 24000 (I think)

Wow, they're a dime a dozen at home. I seen em' as cheap at 16 cents each; often 5 for a dollar.

For future reference, is there a translator that works for Korean? It's easy to get translation for many other languages, but not Hangul-mal. I see blackjack just spelled lime out in Hangul, while my fish is giving me the Korean word for the color of lime. Guess it's something a really smart bilingual human as to do as computerized things can't do it.

That Gmarket link is selling 10 for 33,000 or 20 for 57,000.

Either way, not cheap, but if you want your Mojitos, what can you do?

I know it's not ideal, but for Gin and Tonics, and some beers, I use the "cheat" lime juice that is 3,000 won in any big supermarket.
