151st post

Lord, give me the wisom..........


Must I study economics?
Am I really interested in trade? (If not, then what?)
Should I do an internship this winter?
Or should I focus on studying for LSAT?
When should I make time to study Chinese? (Okay, I know this is a stupid question, but I can only do so many things in one time frame..)

fair trade chocolates

I've been interested in the idea ever since I saw the "fair trade" emblems on chocolate bars in a London Starbucks in 2002, but I haven't really taken any action until now.
Now "착한 커피" and "착한 초콜릿"are becoming something of a fad in this country - celebrities are doing interviews with newspapers to promote and advertise the fair trade campaign in light of the Valentine's Day season.

Unfortunately, there are only a few stores that engage in fair trade in this country, and as those stores are very small and run by a handful of people, they only import a small amount of goods, and now their stock has run out and they cannot meet the V-Day demands.

I would have placed an order earlier if only I saw a Fair Trade ad just a few more days ago!
(AND if she didn't 부들부들 떨어 like that -_-^ saying she'll be 비교당해 with me if I give out chocolates to people in the office)

Maybe I'll try ordering chocolates for March 14th...
Or maybe I'll just make do with Stbks chocolates this time around.

Anyhow, a few websites to keep in mind:
