The prices there are absurd. I don't know how she stays in business. You can get almost all that stuff at Hannam Supermarket.

I got the AAFES bags, too - double bagged at that! I thought it was rather ironic.

That place has been there since 1997 (or longer), so apparently the US military considers it an insignificant drain on US taxpayer dollars (and/or maybe the ajumma pays off the appropriate authorities, and the US military considers it fighting a losing battle.

She did have fresh Skoal and Copenhagen (no, I don't use either) in the fridge though. Can you get that at any other place in town (off base)?

Where else in Seoul can you buy Triscuit crackers or some of those cereals.

They also have a wide selection of deoderants and condoms.



The Red Door is the only place in Seoul where you can buy some of those things.


Plus I like the walk down there from Itaewon Station. It's a nice area.

Has anyone been to the Kashmir Indian/Pakistani restaurant nearby?

Can someone give me directions to the Hanam store? And is it really cheaper than Red Door?

Come out of Hanganjin subway exit 2 and keep walking around the big corner. You'll eventually see a big over pass which you should walk over to get to the other side of the road. You should see a harley shop and some boat shop. Take the right stairs down and keep walking. It should be on your left after a short time. It's down stairs and you cant miss it cause there is a bowling pin outside the top of the stairs

Hannam market is great.. Are people saying they can't afford it?

Spices meats and cooking stuff, Tylenol and Advil which are tricky to find...Even a good booze selection. Real mouthwash as I recall...

Buy books in Itaewan , somes Advil and Listerine and then head to Hooker Hill---a perfect day in Korea no?

She has those Prilosec OTC pills that are great for heartburn. I couldn't find those anywhere else. She really has a good selection of American goodies in such a small space though some most of it costs double of that in the US.

For those of you closer to the Sinchon area, there's a great shop with a wider variety of stuff and moderate prices behind the Hyundai Dept. Store. It's right next to the park. Lots of cereal, meds, spices, packaged foods (including hard taco shells ) and soft drinks.

Can't remember the name, but I think it starts with "여기" something...red and white sign, friendly owner...

for those of you searching for the red door check this thread but dont be confused...the directions are from the old burger king location

Just an FYI~ the Red Door doesn't accept credit cards (at least she didn't the last time I was in there, which was quite a few months ago), so bring cash.
