I was carrying a stack of books in my arms, tucked against my stomach, and there was a pen in one of the books, and it didn't have a cap on it - let's just say that there is a heavy blue ball-point ink line on one of my most useful white (cotton) turtleneck shirts. Since I'm plus-sized, and most Korean women are extremely petite, it's very hard for me to get clothes here that fit, so I need to get the mark out. (Read - I have an extremely limited wardrobe here, so I have to make the most use out of what I have. And it's expensive to have my mom always sending me clothes from Canada!) What should I do???

Anyway if nobody else is going to answer go into a dry-cleaner and ask. At least they should know what to do. Hope this could help a little sunshine A friend is somebody that knows everything about you and still likes you

If that doesn't work, try acetone (nail polish remover) BUT it may damage the cloth, so use cautiously. Good luck! Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly. - Under the Tuscan Sun
