Hi all. Just wondering if people knew somewhere in Korea where you can buy Christmas trees (preferably in the Daegu area), or an online store that sells trees and ships them here. I know real trees will probably be difficult to come by, so on this rare occasion, I'd settle for a fake one.

I know I'm a little early, but I'm thinking ahead - I'm assuming shipping will take a little longer. I love Christmas, and I want to bring a Christmassy feel into my school, so trees and wreaths are essential!

Thanks.

No worries.

You will be able to find fake trees all over the place, but especially in the old traditional markets very soon. Think 'artificial flower shops'.

Yes, florist shops, particularly of the sort found in underground shopping centers, are an excellent source for Christmas decor, along with stationery shops, if that's your thing.

Any of the big department stores will begin stocking them a little closer to the day. You will have no trouble finding one. Along with purples plastic balls to decorate it with

Last year Carre- ummm...Homever had tons. May not be cheap but it will certainly be cheaper than shipping one from home....

Also, in Namdaemun a few years back they had an entire stretch of the market that was all shops selling Christmas decorations....not sure if they are still doing it, but may be worth a look.

....Having a few beer and then Christmas shopping in Namdaemun with my friends at 3 am is one of my favourite memories from my first year....

HomePlus has improved their selection in the last couple of years. I got a 4 foot tree last year for a very reasonable price. If they have 'em, I'd bet E-Mart and LotteMart will as well.
