Two questions:

1. I'm leaving Korea soon. I ran out of toilet paper, and my butt doesn't require 12 rolls of premium Home Plus toilet paper. Where can I buy single rolls of toilet paper?


2. My writing isn't the neatest in the world. When sending a box of stuff from Korea to America, should I print out the address, or will my writing be legible enough for the Korean post office worker(s)?

You're questions are funny.

Single rolled toilet paper--go to a mart, they come in smaller packs.

Illegible handwriting--My handwriting's isn't so awesome, but if just one or two things I'll write my Korean address out in Korean because I'm proud I can do it. But if it's more than that I'll type it in MS word and print my address(in Korean) and the address of the receiver in America--in English.

Good luck!

Go to a 24 hour mart. They all sell "travel" tissues. Haven't you ever had an "emergency" in Korea while you weren't in your apartment?

At the post office there's a form you have to fill out that lists the contents of the box. That's where you write the address.

Most small convenience stores will sell you a single roll, but not cheaply.

If you writing is not the best, ya I would do a print out if you could.
