May 22, 2008: Costco Adventure

Anyung,

Well I had quite the adventure to Costco today. So I thought I'd head out early today to try and search out Costco before work. Here is the map the Costco provided on their website;
not very helpful and completely not to any scale. So by using this map I aimlessly walked around for about an hour and back tracked at least twice.

Eventually I got fed up and decided to just take a cab there because I was wasting so much time. As we headed there I kept thinking to myself there is no way I could have walked there on my own. We went over a river, under some train tracks and about 3 miles from the subway stop we arrived.

Once inside the Costco it was pretty amazing. So many of the comforts of home I could find here: cereal, turkey, trail mix, pasta, steak and the list goes on. The things I took for granted could now can all be found in this MEGA store. And man was it crazy, imagine Costco back in the U.S. on a Saturday afternoon but replace all the people with pushy Korean moms aimlessly walking around. I'm not sure what it is but Koreans do not watch where they are walking, at ALL! They are either on there cell phones, reading or just plain staring at the sky.

Other then the hour of being lost it was a great trip and one that will be done many times in the future. Hope all is well.
