A ha! Finally the day that we 2 girls were looking forward to! DMZ tour was the perfect distraction for the guys, which allowed us to enjoy the whole day of shopping! mwahahaha
After dating me for a couple of years, Mister knew me well enough (at least about my tendency to go a bit overboard while on shopping spree) that he lent me his cabin luggage to bring on our shopping day! My friends were shocked and surprised but we both utilized it so well! I was thinking we couldn't fill it up and yet, we did!
Ewha Women University (Edae)
A busy day for us started with shopping at Edae. Being located in the university area means clothes here are trendy and in style for the youth and are relatively cheaper. Trust me, clothes on offer here are more fashionable than those found in other shopping zones (which could be tacky sometimes). Except for Dongdaemun, I guess. Clothes in Dongdaemun are chic and stylish but they are on the pricey side. Remember to explore the narrow side alleys of Edae which are littered with pretty boutiques!
Hongdae, Sinchon & Edae are 3 neighboring university towns, bustling with youthful energy of college crowd. Hongdae is known for busking, bars, clubs and nightlife in general while Edae is famous for shopping and beauty treatment at hair saloons and nail spas. Ewha is a university for women afterall ^_~ I might be slightly biased but to me, Sinchon has the best food among these 3 university areas.
Best to shop for:
1) Cute, customized, handmade items
2) Shoes for ladies
3) Accessories
3) Fashionable, feminine clothing at affordable prices
Must-try snacks:
1) Egg muffins (not the ones with egg on top of the bread, try the ones with egg inside the bread)
2) Spicy fried chicken with rice cake & hash brown (Cup Dak)
How to get there: Ewha Women University Station, Line 2, Exit 2 or 3
