Our Journey to Eden: Korean Market Locations

Monday, June 21

Korean Market Locations

For those interested... here are some links to Korean Markets

Click here for markets organized by state

and here too

here is a link to the market I went to (HanMi Market in Troy, Michigan)

and a list of markets in Michigan

This is the first Pororo item I have seen at the market. I specifically asked for Pororo videos but since they are actually made in Japan, the market said they wouldn't/couldn't carry them??? I was surprised to see the table there. They also had another one in blue. There were several of each color available and were $29.

Happy Shopping!!!
