Shopping in Korea

All the Great Markets & Food

All the Great Markets

Shopping in Korea was a really neat experience. There were so many things to choose from in the various markets and shopping centers. The Korean money is called won, and the currency rate was really good when we were there. Some of the places that we shopped in:

• Myeongdong Street

• Insadong Market

• Itaewon Market

• Gwangjang Market

• Namdaemun Market

• Kyobo Bookstore

• Bukchon Hanok Village

• Gamcheon Cultural Village

• Namsan Seoul Tower

• Seoul/Busan KTX Train Station

• DMZ Souvenir Shop

Korean food is also really interesting. They are known for kimchi, rice, and many spices. My favorites are Bulgolgi, Bimbipbap, and Japchae. The side dishes known as banchan (little dishes, big flavor) include rice, kimchi, sprouts, seaweed, other vegetables, etc.) If you want to learn more about Korean food, watch Kimchi Chronicles on Amazon Prime.

It was fun to shop and eat in Korea.
