 |
|
Most China towns in countries I have travelled through sell a chinese product - I am searching for in Seoul....
Don't know the name of it (its in Chinese)...
however its a green liquid - with a very strong peppermint aroma....
its usually very cheap $3 ~ $5...
it comes in a very small, slim glass bottle with a green lid...
I ran out of my last drop this weekend and threw the bottle in the trash without thinking of keeping it so I could find out what it is...
however its excellent for winter...
and a drop of this stuff under the nose - gets rid of runny/stuffy noses etc...
it has a strong / hot/burning feeling when applied to the skin...
if anyone knows where in Seoul I could buy this... please let me know... |

| Incheon seems to have a better Chinatown than Seoul. There's a small Chinatown area in Namguro in southwestern Seoul that might be able to help. Most "Chinese" people in Korea are ethnic Koreans who spent a few decades living in China to escape political oppression here, then they moved back because they figured out things weren't much better in China, and then they got back here and were surprised to learn they were now foreigners. |

Most of those are ethinic Korean descendants of who left Korea two or more generations ago. |

Basically, but what I'm saying is they won't have everything you'd expect from actual Chinese people. I'm sure they prefer jajangmyun to real Chinese food, for example. |
