So far, there only seems to be two department stores here in Yeosu. The biggest being Lotte Mart (why of course! i reckon they should just rename their capital city of Seoul to ‘Lotte’!) and the second being E-mart. I prefer e-mart because it’s smaller and they have free wi-fi for shoppers! but for some reason, we always end up at Lotte mart.
Anyway, we were just there earlier this evening. I was looking for Strawberries. FYI, Korea has the best strawberries in the strawberry universe. I don’t know why we bother importing our Strawberries from Australia. Korean Strawberries are fat , berrrryyyyyy juicy and sweet.
so anyway, i found my strawberries and headed towards the dairy section for whipped cream. nothing like the old fashioned strawberries and cream kan? Local products are mainly being sold through out the supermarket but most of their dairy products are imported. As i was browsing the shelves for cream, i caught sight of the prices for butter.
close to 9 bucks!!!??? for BUTTER????. and i thought we had it bad in Brunei. BND$3.10 for 250g of Newzealand butter doesn’t seem so bad anymore. i think i finally understand what they mean by “Hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri, lebih baik negeri sendiri”
Rain fall gold in people country, rain fall stone in own country, better in own country!
I AGREE 100% with you Mr Peribahasa Melayu.
but in anycase, don’t they EAT butter here???? i’m guessing they dont. that’s why the namja and the yeohjaaa chinggus are all sooooo PERFECTLY SIZED.
I also passed by the cheese section and my eyes got even wider when i saw that they were charging close to $16 bucks for CHEESE.
and it’s korean cheese. wtf.
ok. nvm. ill just have strawberries for bfast lunch and dinner from now on.
arrosso!?
kudeo.
kiss me.
