from Korea

A friend brought back some snacks from Korea. Gonna wait for family to come to share with them.

Also tried shopping from Gmarket (http://english.gmarket.co.kr/) the other day. Was quite fun, and there are discount coupons that one can use to offset the parts of the purchase price from vendors who allows discount coupons to be used.

caps in smaller box, and a bag in clear plastic wrap

caps unboxed

small brown bag

The purchases were from two different sellers, and I think the cap seller did a pretty good job in packing the items. Quite pro. The total shipping costs was about SGD$16 for a weight of less than 1.5kg, the bag was about SGD$23 and the two caps in total was about SGD$30. Using discount coupons, got about SGD$13 discount.

One cap was listed as charcoal gray but it turned out to be a bit greenish in colour. The brown bag has a very heavy smokey smell that lasted days. Other than that, everything was in order.
