Itaewon: Itaewon
  • Tip Rating:
  • I think Itaewon is as much as a tourist trap as it is a must see activity. It is a must see activity for the fact that it's a great place to people watch. It's a tourist trap for the shopping.

    Many people who don't venture far out of Seoul or even leave the city think they are getting a great deal by shopping in Itaewon district. I'm here to set the record straight. The better shopping is in P'yongtaek, about an hour south from Seoul on MSR 1 on your way to Busan.

    Granted, you will be able to haggle prices down on items that are probably fake, but why bother? It's still going to run you more than it would in P'yongtaek. Not worth your time folks, unless you want to just sit back at a restaurant, and watch men trying to get the attention of a girl that is not interested in him. Haha

     Be careful not to confuse the electronics market with EMart. Emart is actually a department store much like Walmart. You can get electronics there as well, but probably not the same deals as at the electronics market.
