Homeplus (i.e. Korean Target) abounds with most of the necessary items for daily living. Knowing this, Karen and I took a trip on a Friday night a couple weeks ago (I wanted to post the picture thus the reason for not writing earlier). As a note, understand that neither of us have a car so we walk everywhere, take buses, or taxis on occasion.
We bought an array of cleaning products and food at Homeplus. We boxed up all of our things. Figuring a taxi would suffice, we waited on a lit and busy street. Taxis drive left and right in Korea so we didn't worry about the wait.
We hailed a cab. The cab driver had his window down and asked us where we were going. We named our apartment and he drove away. We thought that he wanted us to cross the street and he would turn around to take us in the opposite direction. He turned, but didn't come back.
After about half an hour of waiting for another cab, someone finally felt sympathy for the two foreigners with big boxes.
Note: Taxi drivers on Friday nights + 2 foreigners who want to go a mile away = no go.
