A little while back I sent a 'Korean Care-package' to the gorgeous Robyn Hobson after she joked around on twitter saying she wanted a signed article of clothing from me. That tweet gave me such joy that I decided to go on a mission for some random things from Korea to send to her...
It was fun to shop for someone I've never met - and most of what I included in the package were very random "korean-style" treasures including coffee-flavoured gum and un-matching-couple socks.
Here is the wrap:
Also, I originally sent the package express to South Africa (to try get it in time for Robyn's trip to Zanzibar). But after about two days I got a call from the Korean post office to say it had been returned since they do not do express delivery to PO Box addresses.
Post Office conversations in Korea are very funny (especially over the phone when you can't employ charades):
*RING RING*
Me: Hello?
Post Office: Herro Post office.
Me: Hello. Post office? (what?)
Post Office: We have packagie
Me: Package for me?
Post Office: No. packagie you are from.
Me: A package to me... from me?
PO: No. Package - you are from! South Africa! NO!
Me: A package for me ...that's not from South Africa?
PO: No. Packagie you are from. South Africa. NO GO!
Me: AAH! my package is returned!
PO: OK! OK!!!
Me: Ok GREAT!!! (gives secret high-five to phone) Can you please send it then?
PO: No. you come packagie get.
Me: I don't want to get the package. I want it to go to South Africa.
it was a process.
haha ;)
I'm glad it eventually made it! :)

Hiya! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4. I'm trying to find a theme
or plugin that might be able to fix this problem.
If you have any suggestions, please share. Thanks!

Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I'd figured I'd ask.
Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa?
My site goes over a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly
benefit from each other. If you're interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way!
