Leaflets and Free Stuff

One thing nice about walking to and from my office in Yeouido is I get a lot of free stuff that can complete any student’s back-to-school wishlist. Haha. In the mornings, even if I am already late for work, I personally have been on the lookout for those corporately-dressed people in paper sashes who distribute leaflets that come with free pens, a lot of free post-it’s, fans, and even notebooks! The handed leaflets usually offer a variety of securities investment packages, not surprising in a place where most of the securities companies and research centers are located. They’re usually the ones that come with the free items. Then there are those usual leaflets on new restaurants in the area and probably a few yoga or dance class leafltets, this time handed by older women.

I remember then how I’ve always avoided those Chinatrust loan leaflets along Makati when I was still working with a BPO company. Had they given maybe even a gum piece along with those little papers that they distribute to passers-by, then I would’ve been their avid leaflet supporter. Tee hee.

Anything that is free is worth grabbing, in these especially hard times when even push carts that you use in the supermarkets have to be paid for. Yes, that's how it is in their supermarkets here. That's why I've always sufficed with carrying baskets instead of pushing cart rollers...
