hi, just read ur post. lol, i dont know why i suddenly stmbled across it, guess google really is awesome. lol, anyhoo, back to topic.
erm, i was searching for places in myeongdong where i could buy big bang, dbsk, and suju merchandise and voila ur post was among the links. erm, can i ask u exactly where libro books.music store is located. i'm currently in korea and still have 2 weeks left b4 i return to england. so i could really do with ur help.
p.s my sister is dying to have a Nooritoys Teddy Bear. which street vendour are u refering to if i may ask?
pp.s i totally envy u for having a pair of gd socks. i managed to buy a pair with seung-ri, Daesung and Tae yang. isnt it convenient how i was unable to attain a pair with TOP (who i happen to adore so much i could r isk being labelled as mad anytime now) and also GD ones. aigooo, i really felt for a moment that korean vips knew i was coming. paranoia much? lol.
anyhoo hon, please do get back to me. and if u have any further recommendations as to places i should check out, or bb related information, please let me know. i'll leave u with my email.
idol shops in myeongdong: i noticed quite a few signs saying that they sold idol goods but since the people i went with weren't really into those kinds of things i didn't get to go in ;w; but i would advise just looking out for those signs - usually the shop itself isn't on the ground floor/very visible so they might be difficult to find. the goods sold are mostly not official ones.. usually folders, key chains, cups, socks etc. with idols printed on them ;)
books libro + music libro: i went to two books libro stores but i'd recommend going to the one which is connected to Eulgiro 1-ga St. (it's the station which is close to Lotte Department Store), it's really easy to get to as it is linked to the station so i think even if you can't find it if you ask around someone will definitely know ;D for music libro, it's actually in a separate smaller shop which is right next to books libro (you can get to it by going out of books libro through a 2nd entrance/exit to the store) - i'd recommend buying CDs and stuff here rather than wait as i also went to a CD store at the airport and prices there were higher!
nooritoys bear: well, i'm not actually sure if the vendor is still there, hopefully so but she was right outside an exit of Eulgiro 1-ga St. I'm sorry but i don't remember which exit exactly (i believe it's the one from the "underground mall") it's actually next to the main road, on the Lotte Department Store side. i bought the teddy at nighttime so perhaps these stores might only be open later on in the day (?)
GD socks: woooh! <33 hahah. i see TOP with the teddy in your dp~ so cute :) the socks i got were from a shop in Doota! Mall in Dongdaemun. If you fail to find idol goods I would recommend going there as well! The mall seems to be mainly for clothes but in one of the upper floors there's a section called "souvenirs" and there are two shops which sell korean souvenirs - including idol goods and i got my GD socks in a sock stall right next to the souvenir shops~~ i'm quite sure there were TOP ones too!
extra stuff: not so much about BB but food-wise i'd definitely recommend trying the lotteria bulgogi burger if you are stuck at the airport for a long time - prices are reasonable and it's korean-ish! XD yummy too. i'd also recommend eating the spice rice cake and fishcake sticky things from street food vendors - they are AWESOME. i'm sure you've been there too but i really enjoyed namsan as well :D also, with the cosmetic shops in myeongdong even if you're not buying anything they usually give out freebies just if you go in and plus the cosmetics there are really cheap! (compared to when they get shipped to where i live anyways)
i've also emailed you a copy of this in case you don't manage to check back to this site. i hope you'll have a good trip!! i'm so jealous that you're still in korea! i miss it sooo much :D
Thank you Thank you Thank you. lol, i went to the book store yesterday as well as the music store. i now own big bang's real concert. it was so cheap to purchase 30.000 won. it has been impossible to buy it onlione as its not stocked anymore. mad right? lol, but im ok now. very pleased indeed.
thank u for ur suggestions hon. on monday my korean home-stay buddy; sunny, will take me to dongaemum. so i cant wait. im not so stressed about going to myeondong since its where the university im attending here is located.
so u suggest i try, lotteria bulgogi, spice rice cake, fishcake...cool. i will give it a try 2mrw. actually i went to lotteria yesterday a few days agfo, but i only had their ice-cream. lol. ill make sure to go back there again.
oh, may i ask u a question? ... ok. glad u agreed. lol. so yeah, i just found out that big bang's big show concert dvd will be released online on the 27th. i usually always pre-order their concerts, but since im in korea, do u think i should try and buy it from the stores directly? i dont know what to do honestly. aigooo.
u went to taipei. im so jealous. like madly jealous. there are so many taiwanese artist i love. omo, we even have like 6 taiwanese students in my summer school. lol. so how is taiwan in ur opinion? better than korea? as good as korea? would u recommend i go there. i was planning on going there after i visit japan next year.
^_^
i better dash. i have to get ready. 2day im going to the coex building and visiting sm building. ohh, who knows, i might get to see super junior. lmao. if not, its still ok. the cinema will suffice. harry potter is on. must see.
i'm glad you found books + music libro!! i really regret not having bought more CDs and stuff! ><;;; and you got the global warning tour right!! :D i bought it already before i went to the trip - it's awesome~~ and it has taeyang's concert too!
wow!! you're attending university in korea? i would so love to do that XD and with the food suggestions, i dont know why i had such a weird dream but i was eating cheese deokbokki! i'm not sure if you can find those around the place cause i tried them inside Everland. it's basically the spicy rice cake rice cake but baked with cheese. :D we tried instant jjajangmyeon too and it was pretty good! the jjajangmyeong cup noodle is not worth a try though. i also really liked the banana milk you can get in convenience stores? i miss it so much ><;;
regarding big bang's concert.. i absolutely have no idea! but i'm guessing that it would be okay to just buy it directly whilst you're in korea since i saw quite a few copies of the global warning tour around i don't think it'll run out as soon as it's out!
aahh, i only stayed in taipei for 3 days! which is not long enough at all. but i went to the main touristy places (i.e. danshui, jiufen) during the time. sadly i'd have to say korea was a lot more fun in terms of shopping and weather but jiufen was especially pretty. however, i probably haven't discovered enough taiwan as i did with korea to compare the two! my cousin absolutely loves taiwan for the food. she goes there just to eat XD
omg. if you see suju... omg. hahaha that'll be so amazing :D :D
