I live about 90 minutes from Seoul, so it will probably be an all day adventure, but I'm ready to attempt it.

OP, check this site. There are a few in Seoul, and then maybe ask about a particular one.

Take a bus from Yongin to Yangjae (one of the 1500 buses, I think you can catch them at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies - Yongin campus). When you get off at Yangjae, take the 4424 bus (it's green) for about 15 minutes southbound and you'll see Costco on your right. Get off.

You again?? We have to stop meeting like this.

While we're both here, can you tell me the Hangul for Saltpeter, sodium nitrate, and sodium nitrite (crystals)?

For those COSTCO regulars, please help me and probably others as well.

I just finished a brutal cold and in doing so I finished my supply of Neo Citran-I find that stuff works miracles-does COSTCO carry it?

The man (or woman) wants answers! Wink

As for Neo Citran, I've never seen it there, but I have a stash from home in my kitchen cupboard. It's only November, so I'm hanging onto them! You might want to try the black market shops in Namdaemun, though.

I'm actually going today. There's one close to Yeoungdungpogu (sp?) station, off line 2. It'll be my second time going. First time I got off the station and asked where to go. Today I'll be doing the same.

But I've heard that this one isn't all too great compared to others. One thing I do know is that it has the best pizza I ever had in Korea. I'll be buying a whole one today...

Go to this station- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeongdeungpo-gu_Office_Station and walk out exit 3. Make an immediate u-turn and an immediate right and walk for about 3 blocks.

Yeah, the pizza is good.

Thanks. I didn't actually go this way. I just got off at the station, walked out of lord knows what exit, crossed the street and just started walking towards the golf-netting. No turns at all.

Then I spent 300,000 won on far too much shit that I don't really need but want. Macaroni and Cheese - 15 boxes for 15,000.

Thanks for the directions, can't buy too much though. You'd have to carry all that shit back home. Laughing

Mac n' Cheese is good but not without Sriracha and Polish Sausages.
