Shopping in Korea

We didn’t really do much shopping, but we were able to visit some places quickly mentioned to us by some friends. As mentioned previously, branded imported items are 30% more and other imported items in general. So I would recommend doing local shopping or buying Korean brands or Korean made items.

Near Mc Donald’s in Itaewon is an underground market, you might find some nice export overruns here if you are patient enough to look

Crocodile and python skin products! 🙂

James wanted a wallet, but ended up buying a cheaper version using eel skin 🙂

I think he just liked the vendor so much since he was very kind,

he ended up buying things he did not really need. Even Javier got an eel skin belt for himself. Yikes! 😉

and I saw this store that looked exactly like The Pink store by Victoria’s Secret

Clothes for dogs! how cute! 🙂

I think Daddy misses Japan, he asked Nana our tour guide to take him to electronics shopping

While Dad was there, we went to COEX Mall which is an underground mall. This was good for us because it’s so cold outside that mall shopping is much better! We only had 30 minutes though so we did not get to see and shop much

There is an aquarium and a megabit theater which we were not able to see. My friend Steve says the Aquarium is not that great though

many facial masks all over!!!! You will go crazy!! Especially during winter when you need all the moisture that you can, you want to buy all of these!! 🙂

Myeong dong is very near our hotel – a very crowded street, mostly young people shopping here. The shopping carts in the street come out mostly at night. Many street food carts as well
