Quirks Part VI

Ok, so this one isn't a very quirky change, but it's a change nonetheless. Above is a picture of the bag I use at our local Cheonsang Top Mart, the grocery store. Each bag costs about 50 won, which is a measly 5 cents American, but it adds up. Thus, it is much more economical and environmentally sound to re-use old bags, which (unfortunately) requires me to remember to bring a bag with me when I head over to go shopping. The Top Mart check-out ladies are always all smiles, and one of them even speaks English relatively well, so she loves practicing with me when I come in. She also talked me into getting a Top Mart card so I can save on my purchases. Unfortunately, the application is all in Korean and the lady who runs the card application desk doesn't speak any English, so I haven't actually gotten my card yet. But it does give me a practical goal to shoot for in my Korean language study; one day soon I hope to know enough to fill out the form!
