Yes, that's 14,800 Korean won, or about $18 Canadaian, for one cantaloupe! It's comes with a nice bow and stand, but still... And this is actually a bit of a bargain, ealier in the spring they were about 25,000 won. Recently I think they've gone down to about 10,000 won, so I should probably snap them up while they're so cheap! haha...
And here's me with more fruit, in the top right corner you'll see what I think is called a dorian (??? not sure of spelling) and it's a steal at 56,000 won! And on the left, other melons ranging from 17,000 - 34,000 won.So, long story short, I don't eat near as much fruit as I would like to here and right now I'm really missing all of the summer fruit from home!

Well there are definately draw backs to living on a heavily populated island. Costly fruit is one of them. They don't have the space to grow it and so must import
it. Knowing how much you love fruit
you must be in withdrawl. The dorian are supposed to taste like an onion custard. That's what I've read anyway. Hopefully you can find native island fruit that is cheaper. Good luck searching for it.
Yikes . . . that is outrageous! Do they have fruit sales over there?
