does anyone have a clue where in Seoul/Incheon one might find "butcher's paper" (big, cheap, white paper that usually comes in a big pad - like what the butchers used to use to wrap meat - Confused

); and blue-tac (sticky, play-dough appearing stuff that is used as a tac would be - to hold things to the wall - though without making holes).

If anyone knows anything about where I get get this stuff I would be very appreciative - soju on me Wink

Also... my wonjungnim is thinking about changing his school name to "Kids' Club" (his old head-teacher was a dunse and he has been losing students as a result). Does anyone know anything (good or bad) about this franchise? I'm thinking we may have to use their text books and/or (potentially worse) teaching method. Should I worry (I could probably talk him out of it if it is a bad idea)?

Thanks for your help Exclamation

You might try the alpha store next to Ewha university. They have everything I've ever needed and more.

Alpha has it, but "blu-tak" is a brand name. My friend from NZ had blu-tak, but I never heard of that name. In America I have used it but it wa called "fun-tak". If you have a sample, bring it. If you do not chew a stick of gum, bring that, and demonstrate how to use it.

Blu-tak is not sold in Korea. I have only ever seen it once in Kyobo Bookstore but they only sold it that once. They don't stock it anymore. I normally get my friend to bring me a few packets back from England.
