|
|
Hello, I'm looking for a good shoestore in Seoul that sells quality stuff. I'm looking for a pair of nice black shoes. I'll be honest with you, I'm hopeless when it comes to knowing if shoes are good or not. I wouldn't be able to tell if they'd last six weeks or six months, so your input would be appreciated.
I'm also looking for a Costco locations around central Seoul. Where are those bad boys?
Thank you. |

Shoes I can't really help you with, but there's 3 costco's in Seoul. One in Yongdungpo area, one in Yangjae, and one near Sangbong subway station. There are maps on Costco's website, but they're semi useless. |

Don't know if this helps anyone, but I take the 11-3 bus to Costco in Yangjye (spelling?) |

No doubt I'll be going to that one. I'll be rolling into Nambu bus terminal which is nearby. Now... what are the odds I show up without a membership and not only get in the building but coerce some Korean into making a couple of purchases for me? You think there'd be one or two foreigners shopping there I could ask? I need salad dressing and lots of it..... |

If all else fails, you can try Hannam Supermarket. Lots of their stuff is bought at costco and then marked up a bit. |

I dont know about yur idea about just showing up. Membership is not expensive, and perhaps you can share it with a friend.
Do u have anyone at home who can send you a card? My son in New York gave me a card, he just asked them for an extra card with my name. I always use it. |
