So, some of you have asked questions about what it's like to get around and get what you need in a place where you don't speak the language.
I am going to unlock the secrets to decision-making TODAY.
I will use a specific example. The other day, we went to our local grocery store to purchase groceries and some needed household items.
One thing on our list was "all-purpose cleaner".
We thought that would be easy. However, pictures and lots of writing in Korean aren't always as specific as you'd like, making it difficult to differentiate between a potential all-purpose cleaner and, say, bleach. Getting the wrong thing is potentially VERY bad!!
So, we were perusing the various bottles when we stumbled upon a stroke of genius!! This epiphany just came upon us unexpectedly.
This is our current all-purpose cleaner:
How did we choose this particular cleaner? It's simple, my friends. Look how excited and happy the gentleman on the front is!!! If he's happy, of course we will be!!
That, my friends, is how you find what you need in a foreign country. That is your lesson for the day on how to live sucessfully in Korea.
My question is, why does he have blond hair? Does that mean the bottle bleached his hair?
ReplyDeleteI'd have gone by the 'clorox' looking label in the upper right hand corner...
ReplyDeleteAnd, the bottle to the left is the same brand, but, what? X-tra strength, or, better for the environment, 'cause it's GREEN !?! I can see shopping takes on a whole new perspective when you can't read the labels! !
ReplyDeleteThat was a hilarious post.
