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.

Residence Life / Getting settled in

My dorm is crazyyy nice. It's basically like a flat, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and then one living room. For exchange students its free!! I love my dorm ^___^ It's usually 2 Korean students & then 2 exchange students~




Where: Dongdaemun/Kwanghwamun/Hankang

My university is in the Dongdaemoon district, but I am quite far from the huge Dongdaemoon market!! ( ITS CRAZY ) like. I didnt even buy anything. I was just in shock from all the clothing!! It's basically like G-market but in real life in a huge mall haha. Gmarket is still cheaper I think;; I will have to go back again and buy the things I like. They sold alot of cute clothing like Angry Bird clothes..so good. After the market I then went on a mini adventure and went to Kwanghwamoon square and then went to the Han river :)

Where: Icheon pottery making

I was supposed to go to Everland/Caribbean Bay that day but it was crazy monsooning so we decided to do something that was still close. The town Icheon is famous for its pottery and ceramic, everywhere you can see ceramic on signs and in stores etc. My school is even going to go do this as a field trip but I might skip it because I already did it
