I am looking to buy a couple pairs of shorts and some shirts. Where would you recommend? Itaewon or Coex, or any other places that have quality stuff?

If it's just shorts and shirts, you can get good stuff for cheap from Dongdaemun and Myongdong. You can haggle too.

I wouldn't shop at Coex cos usually it's a ripoff. That goes for department stores too. I've never bought anything from Itaewon, but Itaewon is a tourist place so... i'd imagine things to be a little more expensive.

Thanks a lot any place in Myongdong you would recommend? Although i have lost considerable weight since ive been here I am around a 33-34 waist. I know that is still big do they have any shops for that size?

CostCo occaisionally has larger sizes. I know a larger fellow that bought about a 40 waist in shorts. But you have to sacrifice style for size.
