HUGE shopping haul - 명동,강남,Lotte Mart, Artbox

So it's no secret for sure I LOVE SHOPPING, and with the prices in Korea ( compared to Canada prices ;___; ) being SO CHEAP shopping here is amazzzzing <3  at my University, I can get a good meal for 2500원 which converts to 2.27 $  =___= WHICH IS CRAZY. I was expecting to spend like atleast 20$ a day on food, but so far I dont think ive ever spent over 10$ in one day for food. LEGIT I want to move here soooo badly, it just works so good for me because the Canadian dollar is worth here more, and everything is much cheaper here <3 I never want to go shopping or eat out again in Canada because I will feel disgusted with the price haha. Even here, I still get shocked when I hear prices.



IE) I had to go to the hospital here because etc etc;  I was expecting it to cost 500$ because I had to see a skin specialist, so when I came up to pay I was legit scared. Then they said I had to pay 15,000원 which is 13.59$ =___=  WOOOW that was the most shocking time I think.

IE) In Canada to register a cell phone it costs about 50~100$  which is 55,720원~110,345원. IN KOREA IT COSTED ME 13,000원 TO REGISTER MY PHONE which is 11.78$  T____T I almost cried haha

There are some things here that are MORE expensive here than canada like starbucks and good coffee shops are more expensive, shampoo and conditioner is same price, gas is crazy expensive here, its around 1.80$ for a liter, CD's are the same as Canadian prices, tuition is similar to Canadian tuition prices, garbage bags are more expensive to keep the garbage amount down ( There also arnt alot of garbage cans here either;;)  Also, the movies here are more expensive, its 10.00$ for a regular ticket and then 13.00$ for a 3D ticket!

Compeition is insane fierce here so thats what keeps the prices so low, because theres so many people and SO many businesses sooo yeah 8D so cheap lalalalla~~~
the minimum wage in Korea is 4,000~4,500 won ( so like 4$ish) so it makes sense that there are low prices because people cannot afford alot, so the same applies to Canada since the min wage in my province is 9.65$
