One needs battering rams to shop in Korean markets. Just as bad as in Chinese shops! No lines or queues for anything, just huge mob scenes surging towards the goods, especially when there is a sale. It can actually be dangerous!

The British rule in Hong Kong created a slight bit of order, as far as groups in shopping situations, but it's still China, and when a sale is on, it's 'no holds barred!'
