I remember hauling an old VCR down to an adjoshi, with his scissors and cart, back in ‘98. I would sometimes buy duk from the late-night criers simply so they would come back with their song in the night, which is much cooler than running down to the GS or 7-11.

I guess many miss the little things that may now be in the past.

Makes you wonder why so few people buy LPG vehicles. It costs me about 20 000 won a week in fuel, even less if we don’t go on a road trip.

There are various restrictions in place in regard to who can and cannot purchase LPG vehicles and what types of vehicles they can be.

i remember seeing a yeot jangsa ajushi, but he didn’t collect any scrap metal. He had a scissor, a cart, and sold 1 piece of candy by the US equivalent of 10 cents. That was Mok Dong, Yang Chun Goo, Seoul, around 1990. Kid magnet.

I guess I am out of touch since they don’t come to the big apartment complexes. They still have those annoying fish, squid, and vegatable odashi bongo trucks with the loudspeakers? I remember those guys making a hangover even worse, they always seemed to come around at 6AM on a sunday morning.
