First Real Shopping Experience

The trip to the Homeplus store was indeed at 8pm, not 8am.

He took a bus, the whole mob of us that went. It was kinda bad. I accidentally half-sat on this poor old guy. I felt so bad... I'm took tall for the back of the bus. I stood up and had to bend like 90 degrees.

The Homeplus store does not look like much on the outside or even on the first floor. But when you take the escalator down through the first and second basement floors, it's like a whole new world.

I didn't take any pictures, again I know bad me, but it was magical. A bit on the expensive side, but magical indeed. I was able to purchase a pillow and some breakfast food. As well as silverware, because I tried to eat cup noodles like two hours before only to realize while I'm back in my room that I didn't have eating utensils.

The pillow was a reasonable price, 13,500W, couldn't find a pillowcase, not like I need one. I got two sets of chopsticks and two spoons for 4,000W. Kinda pricey. My food (three rice bowls and some Hodeok stuffed with honey) came up to be like 5,980W together. And I had to pay 100W for a paper bag.

When I entered the second basement floor of Homeplus, one of the worker ladies stated yelling. Now, I actually would have been more surprised at this if I hadn't seen something just like it on a drama over my break. It was one of those quick sales. She was shouting 'Quickly, quickly' and 'SAAAAALE.' She had an impressive vocal range.

A few things about American products that I've heard rumors about and now I see that they are true or relatively true.

Deodorant. It's like 8,000W for a stick of deodorant.

Peanut Butter, they have Skippy. It's like 7,000W or something like that.

Milk is expensive as well, like 8,000W for something doesn't look like a full gallon.

They sell Frosted Flakes, even though it's not the name on the box. And Special K as well. They have a Sweet Potato and Banana flavored Special K. Not sure if I am willing to try that. Plus they only come in big boxes.

I don't think anything too exciting happened with the shopping trip. I didn't buy any weird snacks, like the banana flavored puffy chips. Those will be interesting, the day I decide I'll buy them.

Well, that was all for that.
