Myeongdong, Seoul

Myeongdong is located in Seoul. It is a paradise for shopaholics for both tourists and young Koreans. There are so many stores here so there are plenty of varieties of styles to suit everyone's tastes. They have nearly every brand you could ever wish for - H & M, Forever 21, Zara, Migiliore etc. Although it's night time, you can see just how busy the place gets since everyone are off work or school.

walking road between the stores:
The stuff being sold in the middle of the road are the cheapest! You can bargain with them! Near the end of the road facing Lotte Department Store (I think?), there's a store selling $10 bags! (10 000 won).

racks of clothes:
Don't forget to look at the racks outside small stores. They're usually the last few pieces of a particular style of clothing and will be cheaper than the stock in stores.

cute store:
snacks from street vendors:
Super cheap!

potato swirls:
You'll never get hungry here. There are snack stands every few metres selling crunchy potato swirls, spicy rice cakes, odeng, skewer food, steamed corn etc. If you want something more filling there are fast food stores, restaurants and coffee shops.

line of cosmetic stores:
Don't forget to visit the Korean cosmetic stores! Along this street are brands such as Holika Holika, Etude House, The Face Shop, Missha, Nature Republic and Tony Moly. There are more than one of each store around the area so if you do decide to get something, keep walking and you'll find another branch. You'll see heaps of salespeople trying to catch your attention. They'll give you a basket of freebies if you enter the shop. Even if you don't buy anything, they're yours to keep! I went into Tony Moly, bought a 1 000won ($1AUD) nail polish and received another handful of freebies.
How to get there:
Take subway line 4 to Myeongdong Station and exit from either #5, #6, #7, #8 or take subway line 2 to Euljiro Il-ga Station and exit from #5
