Last year in August, there was a massive flea market at the World Cup Stadium. I don’t think this is the same event, though. Nonetheless, I’m a fan of thrift stores and bargain hunting, so this is right up my alley. Unfortunately, I’ll be admiring the green tea fields in Boseong on Saturday. Otherwise, I’d be there for sure. I’ll have to miss out, but I’m sure Kristy will do a fantastic job bargain hunting for the two of us.

This year’s 4th Annual Expat Beautiful Garage Sale will be held on Saturday, May 24 from noon to 4pm in the Duksung High School gym, centrally located next to Anguk Station (the sale will be signposted from exits 1 and 6). Thirty tables of big and small bargains, the perfect sale for those ex-pats moving on or for passing on spring-cleaned treasures, and a perfect place to buy for everyone else! Sellers keep their revenues, and everything not sold on the day is donated to The Beautiful Store, a Korean nonprofit organisation that works with the poor (for more info on this organisation, see http://www.bstore.org/eng_new/index.asp). Lots of free parking. For more info and to book a table (15,000 won each.), email Susan at “suseric@hotmail.com“

For flea market lovers, also check this out.  Hopefully, the flea market at the World Cup Stadium will happen again this August.
