Thoughts on discount shopping/thrifting in S. Korea (Seoul and Chuncheon area)? I'll be heading out there for a few weeks in May.
Previous threads talk about major shopping areas (Myeong-dong, etc) but it's been my experience that retail tends to be higher there than in the States. I've been to one outlet mall back in 2005 (I don't remember where it was but it had a Le Coq Sportif) and it wasn't anything to write home about.
Found this: http://www.premiumoutlets.co.kr (which looks like a Chelsea Premium Outlet mall) and this: www.nanumistore.org (which supposedly means there are Salvation Army thrift stores). Anyone have experience with either? Or other leads?
