| I know a couple Japanese girls who come here three or four times a year specifically for the shopping, and it's not like they're loaded or anything. |
Do they really buy enough that the savings (compared to Japanese retail prices) are greater than the cost of the flight to Korea? Or are they coming to Korea on a cheap boat or something? |
I have no idea. They also go clubbing quite a bit, which is infinitely cheaper here than in Japan. |
Yeah, Insadong was full of Japanese shoppers on the weekends last time I was in those parts. I 'heard' they buy Korean stuff as the quality is better than China but the cost is lower than Japan so it's a happy medium. |
