As you all know, "Gangnam" is a well known district in Seoul where many of the stylish, wealthier folks hang out or do business at. Sometimes with the way you dress, you can tell someone is going to Gangnam. A lot of the men wore nice, tailored suits and women were in the latest fashions with...high heels?! Yes, that's right: high heels! I saw so many women there, even in the most casual outfits, wearing heels! I wonder if their feet get tired...?
The Line 2 takes you directly to Gangnam, but believe me, this place is HUGE! When you get out the station, there is a TON of shopping to do, both cheap deals and costly items roam around here. It's amazing under there, it's the size of a local mall back home!
Now what really stood out for Gangnam was Apgujeoung Rodeo Street (you need to subway transfer). This part is where the shopping until you drop really starts!
There are both local and international brands, and all the prices vary. Regardless, you might end up with a lot of shopping bags. However, there are benefits for it!!! If you are a foreign visitor, you can get your global tax refund for it if you buy at least 30,000KRW worth of merchandise from certain stores. I'll blog later once I get there, but basically you get some money back after all your shopping. KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS!
