interested to know where long termers here stock up on their winter clothes. as ive realised that my clothes from home are completely ineffetive against the cold, I really gotta buy some new ones! starting with a jacket. Im not interested so much in places where I have to depart with a large slice of my paycheck. all i can think of is Emart. They had some ok wincheaters and jackets, any better or cheaper places?

try the street markets, i have seen reasonable quality winter jackets for 5000 won. at that price you can chuck it when the weather gets better. better still give it away - just to be chartiable

Songtan. They have sizes that fit even the largest frame, everyone speaks English pretty much, and the prices are good. Bought a nice suede jacket there yesterday for 80 000 won.

G-Market is in English also but there's still a lot of it in Korean. How long does it take to learn Korean!!!???

I started using Gmarket about a month ago. I found out I could sign up in English on the Korean site and then the first purchase I made I got my co-teacher to help me.
I can read hangeul and understand some words, and if I don't understand, I'll look it up in a dictionary. I don't enjoy shopping in Korea mostly due to annoying shop workers and that I know I can't fit the clothes, but I'm enjoying browsing through Gmarket!! They have EVERYTHING!
