Subway Shopping!

Here in Korea a prime place to shop is the subway. You will often here someone say “Oh, I bought this in the subway,” and that is not a weird phrase at all! Here the subways are full of cheap deals from great stores and if you have your patience and a keen eye you can find some real gems.

I had to get a present for my Secret Santa tonight so I ventured to the Gangnam subway for some good deals on good stuff. They have everything you could imagine, from clothing to phone accessories and each store is competing with the next. It is a chaotic scene full of yelling salesmen, bright colors, crowds of people, and signs I cannot read. Tonight I simply put my ipod in my ears, and did some damage to my bank account!

Here is what the subway stores look like! They often have dresses that only a size zero could fit into…..

For this reason, I usually lean towards the funky asian sweaters, that can sometimes be weird and questionable, but usually just make me laugh…..

 

  You will never guess which one I OWN!

 

There are a ton of different tights of varying colors and designs….

 

That you can pair with a million different types of shoes…..

 

There is even a store that is called “GANGNAM STYLE”, just in case you want to make sure you dress with Psy’s approval.

Before leaving the subway make sure you update your phone accessories….they have so many good ones here in Korea that I have never seen back home! 

Overall it’s a wonderful, fun, addictive and dangerous place to go if you have money to spend and time to kill! You always walk out with something fun that will end up being the topic of conversation whenever you wear it! My favorite purchases tonight? Killer Asian Furry shoes and a grammatically incorrect sweater that is just soo funny to wear since I’m an English teacher!

Gotta love the Gangnam subway!
