Shops in Seoul

same clothes in stores

If you saw a nice shirt, pants or jacket see while shopping in Seoul, look for a few more shops. Probably the neighbor sells them for half the price. Especially the underground boutiques that you see in the subway stations. They often have the same stuff for much cheaper. Why? Because everyone buys clothes at a wholesale market in Seoul. So do not immediately grab the purse at the very first coat, but look futher!

Cosmetic shopping in Seoul

In Korea, people look super nice. Not only women but even men have a porcelain skin. Worldwide, South Korea has the highest plastic surgery rates. One of the five women had done something about their face or body. At first it was a bit shocking for us to see so many people on the street with bandage around the head, chin or whatever part of their face. But it seems very common here, so we got use to it.

But the advance about this whole “I-want-to-look-beautiful-thing” is that you will find numerous shops where you can buy so many cosmetic stuff. I’m telling you, a true paradise for us ladies! I spent many hours (and money) wandering in cosmetics stores. But it was more than worth it, because Korean Skin care products are THE BEST! And the good thing is that almost everything is TAX free for tourist like us!
