cereal obsession


"I Love Cookie" is the name of the new store that opened in our area that sells imported products.  You can find a random assortment of goods like Reeses Peanut Butter cups, A&W Root Beer, and....Froot Loops (I've never noticed until now that it's spelled "froot" not "fruit").  How much would you pay for this big box of FROOT Loops in Korea?  Try about 14,000 Won or $13 US Dollars!!!!

However, we weren't tempted by this purchase because luckily for us we have 13 boxes of cereal at our apartment.  Okay...maybe it's down to 11 now.  But seriously, when we first got back to Korea we had 13 BOXES of cereal.  Six of those came from America on our latest trip back here (this does not count the four Tom brought back on his own when he was here for 4 weeks while Everett and I were in the States).  

So what is more ridiculous...paying about $13 bucks for Froot Loops or having 13 boxes of cereal at your apartment???
