Excuse me, can I borrow your Korean?

• Raining really hard all morning. Morning plans: fucked.
  
  
• I made it to Techno Mart, finally. The train ride here was gorgeous, it cuts across the Han river all lit up at night, which has dim lights following the entire length of the tree-lined shoreline-sidewalk. Where's my girl when I need her...
  
  
• I've got a laundry list of electronics to buy, but it's clear I'm gonna need to focus on this one item at a time. Techno Mart looks like about two hundred small electronics vendors got together and laid siege to the PWC building on Bay St. They set up their shops any way they can, and they all sell similar merchandise.
  
  
• The fact that these guys have similar stock means I can haggle them against each other. Ask me if I'm looking forward to this, just ask me. Haven't done any price-negotiating since my Miovision days.
  
  
• I'm looking for the best price on the FujiFilm F80, which runs $299 before tax in Canada. There's no way in hell I'd be able to compare models or discuss details without a Korean buddy here to interpret. I'm toying with asking that American down the aisle if I could recruit his Korean girlfriend for a minute...
  
  
• Haggled a half-dozen vendors down against each other. It's closing time, and so far I have offers starting at 400,000KRW to 340,000KRW. This is for the camera, HDMI cable, two 4GB 300kbps memory cards and a spare battery. Not shabby, considering there's no tax added. Works out to $309 CAD for the package. I'll be back next week to try to pin them even lower. This time next week I'll have my Korean bank account, so I will have the ability to wave cash in their faces to show them I'm serious. God I missed this.
  
  
• Omg short skirts.
