Shopping, Illegal Style

So Donald, Joe and I decided to check out the knock-off and copy products that Korea has to offer. Jen Lee asked Joe to get her a Chanel purse so we were on a mission to find one that she might like. Joe kept making fun of me because I knew what kind of purse Jen was talking about the moment she described it. (I got a sister and girlfriend that love purses, you pick up a few things) Joe kept say "Queer eye for the Korean guy". I'll be honest, I knew which were the nice purses and which were the shitty ones. (I swear I'm not a flamer) 

So Donald knew the SOP (standard operating procedure) for Itewon knock offs and A+ copy and he told us that we have to be escorted to the underground shops to get the good stuff. As we walked the street a guy pulled us over and asked if we wanted any brand name stuff. We said yes and followed him down a back alley. But before we went into his secret store, there were police raids happening all day so they were extra careful not showing the entrance to the place until all the cops were gone. I think they just pulled all this cloak and dagger shit to make you feel their stuff is extra good quality. Anyways 3 big english speaking guys are in small basement looking at huge Chanel purses. (It was funny situation). At one point Joe asked how much? The merchant replied $300. Needless to say we got the fuck out of there. We love you Jen but not $300 A+ copy love.






I also saw something that I have been dying to eat in Korea BonDaGee. Silk worm larva. Yes its exactly what I said Silk worm eggs. God I love them!!!
