 Posted: Wed Jan 27, 2010 12:21 am Post subject: Is there an exercise equipment district (or store) in Seoul? |
 |
|
I am looking to buy a spring type hand grip strengthener. I figure a store which sells dumbells and weights would also have what I need.
I need something pretty heavy duty and unfortunetly Emart, gmarket, nor the 1000 won stores have what I am looking for.
It seems common in seoul that there are areas which sell one type of thing, but I guess I haven't stumbled across the body building district - if it exists.
Any suggestions? |

Dongdaemun Stadium is gone, dude. They tore it down to build a new park based on a historical Korea theme. But yeah, they used to be all around there. |

Yeah I went to the stadium last week and found a big hole. It sounds like it used to be great.
Where did all the people migrate to? |

Yeah, I noticed that a couple months ago and I was shocked--they changed the name of the station to "Dongdaemun History and Culture Park" leaving me wonder, what in God's name is a "history and culture park"?
LOL at "bodybuilding district," now I would LOVE to see THAT in Korea... |

Those are what I was looking for but they are a lot more than i expected to pay. Plus 350 pounds is impossibly strong.
I found an article which says all the stores moved down the street so I will try to find them sometime.
If anyone else is looking its here
