I'm wondering where I can get a nice big-sized western towel. I'm sick of using the small face-sized towel to dry my entire body with... I just stayed in a nice hotel in Hong Kong, and they provided those really nice white, fluffy, comfy towels. I wish I stole it from the hotel now! haha...

So... any place have nice towels? I was disappointed with what I found at the local Emart...

I've seen plenty of large western size bath towels at Emart and at department stores. But i know the "fluffy white" ones you're talking about -- they're awesome, soft, i believe cotton, and i've never seen those yet in Korea.

Is that true for other cities too?

All this time I've been told to bring my own towel...should I? (moving to Changwon)

Yes, Costco has them for about 10,000 each, and they're well worth the money.

Awesome. Tell me more about this gas clothes dryer, I hate hanging up my clothes to dry (especially having to breathe in all those chemicals!)...

So, I went to Emart and then a buddy told me to check out Homeplus. Well, I went there and found two nice towels. Not the best in the world, but they definitely are big and western-style! Thanks for the tips all!
