Notes of a Native-Speaking English Teacher

Not only did I find a LOT of laces, I also found shoes in my size (US- 12, Korea 300).  In the past, I've had to spend about four or five hours going to Itaewon just to find a pair of decent shoes. I was thrilled to find this place. I can take the subway after work and, with a little luck, buy a pair of shoes and return home in less than one!

I was truly happy to find the ABC Mart!

I just can't get my hands on any shoelaces.  It never occurred to me that a department store could stock hundreds of pairs of shoes, maybe thousands, and not stock a single set of laces.
