I don't mean the stuff that blows in on the wind from China...
I mean the stuff that you find on the walls of Jim Jil Bangs and on incredibly expensive sets of clothes and bedsheets...
you know all those orange things you see being sold at a massive mark up...yeah - what's the deal with that?
It's 황토 in Korea but I can't find a translation for it...
Any ideas? It's doing my head in and I'm not gonna be able to ask anyone at work till Monday! |

Snap! I was wondering the same thing last night, when I saw a huge display of the stuff.. then I went into the supermarket and saw Hwang-toh shampoo... they had translated it on the bottle as "yellow ochre."
Still would like to know what it is for sure though... |
