Maple syrup is supposed to be on the table before the pancakes

First of all, sorry for not adding to the site in over a week. I got a stinky flu type thing and did nothing but work and sleep (sometimes at the same time, I am multi talented). So nothing much to report from this week.

I have been working on a follow up to last months 'Korean Food Report' and it will be titled something along the lines of 'Korean Drink Report'. Probably be up in the next couple of days.

Tonight for the first time since arriving here I had to purchase some *ahem* fecal wiping material. I went along to my newly built cornershop. I say newly built, it wasn't there about 5 days ago, and now it's there. Not just the insides, the whole thing was built in a bout a week, it's amazing how fast they put things up here.

I strolled in looking for the aforementioned botty cleanser. And found myself with a small choice to make. Pause this for a moment.......

Korea is a place where people have small homes, obviously not every person, but your average Jo Hwe Hyeung does not have a very big apartment, and very few have houses.
Unpause.

Why then? Why, oh why? Why do they only sell glutimus maximus wipes in packs of 30 rolls or more? I have little to no space as it is, and the addition of a pack roughly the size of the suitcase I brought with me means I actually can't get into the toilet anymore.

Why didn't I buy any posterior disposable wipes before now? (I hear you ask, as if you care; in the same way that people ask about your weekend, or if you watched Eastenders last night). Well it seems that the previous occupant of my abode had left me..... 60 rolls! Either this person had a very big bottom, or had a persistent stomach upset, other explanations are welcome.

So that's that, a weeks wait and all you get is a story about soft paper for manure disposal, sorry. That's 60 of them used, I'll try and keep you up to date on this(I hear you asking about Coronation Street now).

Oh, and I have now finished another litre and a half of soy sauce, that's two and a half down now, as if anyone is still reading this nonsense by this point.

The judges decision on the last post's quote is that Scott is allowed the point. I fought the decision hard as he had made several offensive remarks towards our saviour (me) in his comment. But as always the judges decisions are final.
Who can get it this week?

My sister in law tells me that:

'30 - cheaper that way and encourage you to use them as you have them'

Is there anyone out there who is encouraged to use toilet rolls? I use it when I need to, and at no other times. I can imagine Julie sitting there at work, itching to get home so she can wastes some of the 30 pack she bought at the weekend.

Sorry Julie x

its rain man. and it was one question and one wish for a ginger beard (lets face it its got to be better than blond bum fluff) not several ofensive comments. anyway after the battering of offensive comments the ´saviour´ has given me over the years i think im allowed a couple.. im still emotionally scarred from being woken up with a shoe off the face..

and hey, surely your pack of thirty toilet rolls only takes up half the space of the sixty the previous occupant left? or are you using the storage for family buckets of soy sauce?

-Scott

cause i know its only sausage roll but i like it.

Well done to Scott there, another point in the bag.

Scott you point out that:
'im still emotionally scarred from being woken up with a shoe off the face..'
Surely its better than being woken up with a shoe on the face?

I know it sounds odd but the cupboard I was using had no other purpose than to hold bum polishers so I had not realised it's size until I removed the old package.

The extra storage space is going to be used for some stuff I think, and mabe some things.... I haven't decided yet.

now i see the dilema here but a shoe ON the face might imply that the shoe, probably one of those air jordans with the holes in the tongues if my memory serves, was placed onto the face. now this just doesn´t do justice to the velocity in which the shoe was travelling when it briefly met the face and rebounded. maybe it was a reebok pump, possibly fila.
