Shopping in Seoul

Seoul is a shopping heaven!
Beautiful clothes, shoes, bags and cheap cosmetics.
When u are tired of shopping, just popped into one of the many cafes to take a rest.
If u are hungry, just go into one of the many restaurants for delicious food.
What more can I say?! WOW! :D

Is a shopping paradise.
Familiar brands like Forever 21, Zara, GAP can be found here.
Korea cosmetics brands like Innisfree, The Face Shop, Nature Republic, Missha, Holika Holika, Tony Moly are all around. We almost went crazy. Hahaha. :D

My friend and I love this place. Good shopping and food, but I think my friend and I look too foreign. Everyone can tell that we are foreigners. Usually outside those cosmetic stores, there is always one or two ladies welcoming everyone into their stores.
"안녕하세요! 안녕하세요!"
But when those ladies saw us, they will always say "欢迎光临" or "Welcome".
I think I also heard "Sawadee krap".

Is a beautiful place. The shops' names are in their korean characters without romanticization. Look at the 2 familiar shops Missha and Etude house

Haha.. and it is a good place to buy touristy stuff.. for friends and relatives and colleagues. hahaha.

If u like shopping centres or if u want to go into a place to bargain, this is the place for u. haha. You can find fortune tellers here too, although we didn't go to any because of our limited korean vocabulary.

Hahaha.. my friend and I had an interesting conversation with an old woman, probably in her 80s selling chilli powder. Hahahaha.. surprisingly we actually understood what she was saying.. especially when she asked if we had a calculator. XD
