Where is it???

I have seen the advertisements up and around the Jamsil area...

but I thought they were advertising for the Cheonho homeplus (up the road) which is still under construction and probably will not be finished until early next year...

If Jamsil does have a Homeplus.. please tell where it is....

It's before you get to Lotte department store, and it's right in behind where Chili's used to be. I saw the signs when I passed by in a taxi Saturday.

Eleven years ago, I was working for Halla Heavy Industries in the building next to Chilis...I was the first customer when it opened, feels weird that it's now closed down. Damn! Razz

Pretty good. Has a few English Tesco lines. Has Scottish Cheddar. Er, Weetabix minis. Wine section is pretty good. Pretty keenly priced and they are considering(only considering) doing a wine club for foreigners. Has a nice electronics section. Wnak clothes section, unless you are into shiny suits like. There is a restaurant on the top floor, Vespa, that is pretty good, has decent house wines by the glass and does lamb. Aye, lamb.

Great thanks - when was that built? I live one minute from there and never noticed it before....

Visited HomePlus today after school - really great...

it has a BIGGER range of foreign products than Lotte Mart and Emart and everything is much cheaper than Lotte Mart and Emart....

also the store is much bigger (wider aisles) - and not so many people - so it was like shopping back at home again...

even the Korean people shopping there and the staff seem very UNKorean - they were actually NOT pushy or rude...

one small problem - I did have to convince the checkout adjumna - that yes - she COULD use my "Foreign Visa-credit card" and after asking for some assistant - she quickly learnt that Foreigners visa-credit cards work very easily....

I went last week. It was not THAT impressive, but has more variety than your average supermarket.

Where is it relative to Lotte in Jamsil? I too have seen the signs but have no idea where it actually is ... I go to Jamsil around once a week ... but haven't really been outside of the Lotte domain ... but I would like to go to this shop
