Korea 2011 - Myeong Dong, famous for everything n nothing!

Myeong Dong 명동 lies in the heart of Seoul, it is known as a "must-visit" and a heaven for shopping.. I have a second opinion to it though. Yes, it is comprehensive and you can find multiple shops of the same big brands like Etude House, Face Shop, Nature Republic etc, and it won't be hard to find your favourite international brands like Forever21 etc here as well. However, most clothes are more expensive than those you can find elsewhere in Seoul (like Ewha), and because it's a "gold mine" for shoppers, it's even harder to get any discounts or bargains here.

However, it is still a "must-visit" for the city buzz, good food, and overwhelming fashion-candies.
