The one in the Volvo Bldg is usually pretty weak in this category, so you might save yourself a trip to (Sh)itaewon... Creo,

Checked yesterday at the “red door store”, the black market store nearest burger king, and nothing…The other further down the street was closed…

Editing is a good thing. Now if the NY Times and almost every American publication would hire a copy editor that knows good English grammar (would not start sentences with conjunctions, etc.) it would be an improvement.

Brand was Sundown, I think. Was in a hurry, so didn't check all the booths. If you go to the foreign market, go to the bottom of the stairs from the street, veer right at the ATM at the bottom, and find the booth just inside and to the left of the washroom sign. White bottle, green cap. Hope this helps. If they run out, maybe you could order more. The vendor didn't know the price, got on his cell, and quoted me 9000 in about 15 seconds, so I reckon it comes through at least occasionally. Michael is right about stuff that is popular being more widely available. If you find a few bottles of your fave vitamin or supplement, it is best to load up. Creo,

Hopefully I'm wrong about that. "once again wasting hours of my time in Korea looking for something you can get anywhere else in the world at a convenience store" Word.

Yeah, but those medications are oral contraceptives, which very few Koreans even use. “my guess is that the gov’t here has reservations about it since it often interferes with other medications”…
