Socks for sale EVERYWHERE. Street vendors, weekly markets, etc. And for CHEAP.

Boxers/underwear: nowhere to be found.

What gives??

I'm guessing because most socks are one size fits all.

Lack of innovation.
Lack of creativeness.
Lack of open-mindedness.
Lack of the inability to think outside the box.


You are thinking like a Westerner. It might be a good idea, but here, concepts like this are copied from the West.

Maybe it's a good retirement idea; sell small, medium, and large. It's probably best to stick to several basic colors; mmmm black, white, glitter purple, and gold with rhinestones.

I've just this month abandoned socks entirely on a tropical island where its always summer & plastic slippers are adequate for all occasions & my public highschool classroom is a barefoot-only zone.

Thanks Korea! I wouldn't be here without the credit I accrued there.

I envy you, in a good way. Not being sarcastic. It's folks like you and tompatz that keep me motivated to keep rolling along. Overall, Korea has been very, very good to me.

Eventually, I plan to be cooling out and doing something different.

Congrats to you, truly Very Happy

Is the OP seriously having trouble finding boxers in Korea? Or is he just upset he can't find dirt cheap sweatshop boxers that make burlap seem silky smooth?

It's not a 'white peoples' problem, it is a 'cheap arses' problem - in the ESL community, there are more cheap arses than white people! Laughing
