So I was sitting there playing KoToR II (for the second time, this time a dark side character), when I sadly realised that I need to go shopping. I haven't bought any presents yet, save for my parents, but I just ordered that online. Hmm. My brother owes me money for that... Anyway, this is not the country to be in if you want Christmas spirit. It's pretty much nonexistent here. There's some Christmas music around, mostly in the big departement stores, and some decorations, and some Santa paraphernalia, but that's about it. I could see Korea, or at the least, Seoul, becoming like Hong Kong on Christmas, but it's far away.

Anyway, I'm getting ready and am about to leave, when someone calls.

Hello?

I have a delivery for #520 The Richville. Are you there?

Yes.

I'll be there within 10 minutes.

Ok. Thank you.

The above conversation was, of course, in Korean. I wasn't sure what it was. The last email I'd received from Apple seemed to suggest that I was getting my memory separately from the computer, and that was what was coming. But lo and behold, this came:

When I opened the door and saw this mammoth box on the floor I knew immediately that I wasn't going shopping today. I was like a baby in a candy store who asked the store to deliver the biggest, newest, tastiest candy to its house. I opened the box.

There's a 백원 (hundred won) coin which just happened to be on the floor (Boots likes to play with them) for scale. For those who don't know how big a hundred won coin is, it's a little smaller than a Canadian quarter. It's lovely, isn't it?

Here it is on my desk, which I should mention again, seems to have been made for my computer.

And finally, for another bit of comparison, here it is with my 14-inch iBook.

By the way, for those who didn't know, it's the 20-inch iMac G5. As I mentioned, I should be getting some more RAM soon. It's giant. I can fit two pages side by side on this screen. I'll leave the rest to your imagination.
