Haggle is a usual way of life here in most shops...Bring calculator or pen & paper to haggle as most shop keepers do not speak english Many & especially Red GinSeng market price & grades different. Research on your own but try to buy from government store on Red GinSeng
lotte world in seoul is like the korean disney land!. I went with my cousin and she is a massive fan of korean soppy soap operas. She was very excited about visiting the ice rink there as its where alot of these soap episodes are filmed. Lotte world is fun for a day out if the weather is horrible and you want to bein doors. The seouju on sale in the supermarket is actually cheaper than water!
Namdaemun area is famous for fashion accesories and glasses, gunsengswhile Dongdaemun area is good for clothes.Insadong area is like a Altstadt in Europe cities, place for small souvernirsand cultural touches rather than shopping.As Koreans bargain 10% from quoted price normally, but as a tourist here bargain from half of quoted price and you can get 20% discounted.If price tag is shown 10% discount will be best bargain.
I love the Korean markets. They have EVERYTHING!!! You could spend hours and hours and not see everything. Fortunately for me, my son is very tolerant and he let me shop to my hearts content. Oh my gosh, it depends on what you are looking for - I bought souvenirs for all my family and friends and I bought a wonderful fleece blanket for only 10,000 Won (about $10 USD) - I had to get an extra suitcase to bring it home, but it was soft and colorful I had to have it. I had the most wonderful time wandering through and enjoying all the exotic scents and colorful displays. The only market I was disappointed in was Namdaemun in Seoul because unfortunately we went there on the Lunar New Year and it was CLOSED!!! There were a few stalls open here and there and I bought a little bird house which I love, but for the most part, it was closed and sad looking. It is normally bustling and filled to...
The shops inside the wholesale centres located at Namdaemun market are much cheaper than the open air market. We popped into almost all the main ones and visited each floors. Ladies accessories, korean cultural items.
We were told that it was located beside an elite Korean University ~ Ewha Woman’s (sic) Univeristy, in Daehyun-dong. No more tall shopping malls, but small shops selling all kind of trendiest fashionable items like clothes, shoes, handbags, accessories, and even cosmetics. Along the street, we were attracted to a store selling ‘Portuguese Egg tarts’ and started to drool!!! Egg tarts have always been our favourite snack…so the rest of the “journey” was concentrated on EATING… I was tempted to buy a hand-phone as I passed by a shop selling one of the sleekest and cool MOBILE I have ever seen. In comparison, those back home looks so boring. Sigh…why cant Singapore used CDMA??!!!
It was more like streets of shopping malls at every corner we turned into. Korea’s larges wholesale and retail shopping district that has more than 10 shopping malls, thousands of speciality shops and manufacturers. You just can’t stop buying with shops/stores/stalls selling electronics, office supplies, toys, sporting goods, shoes, bags, garments, silks, and the list goes on and on…. They even has a whole floor that catered to newlyweds-to-be with all kinds of bedding, dishes, curtains, silverware, clothing materials, necessary items for starting a new household. They even has materials ready-made traditional costumes. Every level has a different theme; i.e. fashion, accessories, bags, etc. My favourites were the small stalls that sold all kinds of interesting stuffs like key-chains, handphone accessories, bookmarks, fridge magnets, postcards, display accessories...with different...
Itewon has not only one shop,it's to many stores you can find! It's very grate place to spend your money and be happy about you chois Practecly anything you want but clothes any clothes in Korea ;everybody can buy them !
When you go abroad sometimes you have to buy some gifts for sepcial person.The only Key holder is inappropriate for them.So you can buy some jewerlies with good quality You can buy necklace, ring, earrings, and clothes. If you buy 1set(necklace+earrings), the price is about 100-200dollors.
Located near Yongsan US Army garrison, Itaewon is a place famous for fakes, replicas and look-alike goods. If this is your target shopping, go for bargains here like no other place in Seoul.Pushers approach you while walking and propose any sort of "brand" merchandise like clothing, accessories, electronics and wrist watches.
