“Freedom is what you do with what’s been done to you.” – Sartre
The other day I walked over to the Homeplus store to do some shopping. I realized I hadn’t been to the Homeplus store in almost a year. It’s not as convenient as when I lived in that other building here in Ilsan – I used to shop there often. Homeplus is a chain big-box retailer which I call “Korean Target” (just in the same way that e-Mart is “Korean Wal-Mart”). In fact, it’s not Target, but rather it’s a subsidiary of the British chain Tesco. But it has something of the same atmospherics about it, I guess.
I didn’t buy that much. I don’t really like shopping for life’s necessities. Sometimes I procrastinate.
Here is a picture I took walking over there. The Spring flowers are in bloom along the pedestrian byways of Ilsan.
