so it is time again for my Annual ritual, mostly for I rarely go on vacation-specific journeys in the Summer for it is much more efficient AND cost-effective to mix business with pleasure when I have projects requiring extensive travel ..

for the first-time visitor : such differing holiday dates in the same electronics district or rather buildings in case of South Korea, would seem confusing but soon understood when you take into consideration different factors of business operation within these boundaries : consumer-oriented retailers, on-Line shopping malls which never close in essence, B2B whole-salers and support centres or repair shops that serve both ends . in the big-picture : a handful of large buildings South of the main road serve consumers with support centres, and a myriad of buildings North are whole-sale .

general consumer outlets in RED, while more whole-sale shown in BLACK letters
