I mean, insanely cheap!! Everything costs betwen 5000 &#8211; 15000Won (3-12\u20ac), only fancy things cost more and every handbag for example is 10,000Won no matter the size or design. There are also a lot of streetfood vendors around which make cheap but incredible food. If you ever come to Seoul and you like shopping, this is a must-go! (No one really speaks English though, so speaking at least basic Korean or having a Korean friend accompany you might be of advantage.) It&#8217;s not the most pretty part of Seoul but really great for bargaining.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-rzWLcuyGDpY\/VDuCcxUl_kI\/AAAAAAAAH4w\/S0qti7puh3g\/s1600\/20140915_201724.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-rzWLcuyGDpY\/VDuCcxUl_kI\/AAAAAAAAH4w\/S0qti7puh3g\/s1600\/20140915_201724.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-dTIJ8CnYDdE\/VDuCmDZoo7I\/AAAAAAAAH5A\/au25R6ZQnV8\/s1600\/IMG_20140915_230821.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-dTIJ8CnYDdE\/VDuCmDZoo7I\/AAAAAAAAH5A\/au25R6ZQnV8\/s1600\/IMG_20140915_230821.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let me introduce you to the ultimate grilled chicken melted cheese spicy herb stick!

Now that I look at all those pictures it is no big surprise that time is rushing so super fast! Remember I have univesity classes and a part-time job in between. So far I have met amazing people and I am so happy that I was able to meet some friends that I haven&#8217;t seen in ages! I really love living in Seoul because the city just has so much to offer and is not crazily overpriced like Tokyo. If I had to chose cities, I would definitely chose Seoul \ud83d\ude42 (Maybe I studied the wrong area&#8230; just kidding, I still love Japanese very much.)<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Have a great day!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">Sam<\/span><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First of all, I got amazing feedback on my last post, it was really really popular!

I did not have as much time for this blog as I had hoped because I was busy meeting amazing people and some very very old friends and I just had a really good month and wanted to share!

We got to know each other via the internet (don&#8217;t look at me like that, a lot of my friends I actually met via the internet, I&#8217;m quite good at finding the good ones \ud83d\ude00 ) and they showed me around Seoul, especially Anguk, where a lot of traditional culture can be seen and experienced.

I did not have as much time for this blog as I had hoped because I was busy meeting amazing people and some very very old friends and I just had a really good month and wanted to share!

(No one really speaks English though, so speaking at least basic Korean or having a Korean friend accompany you might be of advantage.) It&#8217;s not the most pretty part of Seoul but really great for bargaining. Let me introduce you to the ultimate grilled chicken melted cheese spicy herb stick!
