Express Bus Terminal. The name makes it sound like nothing special – a place where people rush through the crowds to get from one place to another. But no. Express Bus Terminal is not only a metro transfer stop; it’s an underground shopping mall too. I’m not talking about any old shopping mall. This place stretches for what seems like half a mile and has stall after stall of plant vendors, shoe vendors, clothes vendors, interior decor vendors, candle vendors, housewares and bedding vendors, you name it. It’s a girl’s paradise.
Even better, it’s walking distance from my apartment. And, you can bargain! I bought some nice decorations for my apartment there, along with trendy Korean clothes that I can wear both at work and outside of work. A couple of my shirts were only 5,000 won (less than $5). To top it off, there is a phenomenal food court that has so many different cuisines – American, Chinese, Korean, Middle Eastern, Japanese, Italian – to name a few.
By the way, I love Korean fashion. People are so trendy here, and shopping is so much fun. I snapped a few pics of Express Bus last time I was there, but these pics don’t do this place justice. I’ll have to take more next time I’m there.
