One time about 2 months ago I found a pack of 3 limes at Foreigner Mart in Itaewon, Seoul, but none were seen last weekend. Only over priced lemons. This is the only store I have seen a green lime for sale. It's over my head why limes are absent being that they have a very long shelf life compared to lemons which grow green mold in a week. I also seen them on Gmarket for some outlandish over inflated price. Markets seem to be severely short on fresh fruits, except some things like tomatoes, bananas, lemons, and kiwi are in small supplies commanding prices well above what I would consider bargains. Bargains, selection, and supply are not a happening thing in these parts. Uh, are the produce suppliers on Summer vacation? Oh, Mr. Orange where are you?

I believe you just bought the worlds most expensive limes. I was getting them for 16 cents last January in the states at a Walmart super center. I paid 5,500 for 3 of them at Foreigner Mart back around 1st of May. 4 for 10,000 won is core blimey?
