Myeongdong is famous shopping town at the center of Seoul. It’s similar to Shibuya in Japan, but the most distinguished difference is foreigner, in this case it’s Japanese are too much.
Myeongdong’s barker using Japanese a lot, and Japanese they are using are really fluent. On advertising boards, there are many Japanese words and we can see many Japanese entertainer’s looking on stand advertisement. Therefore, Korean young people seemed to move to Gangnam because of muchness of Japanese.
In Myeongdong, I thought there were many rip-off prices. They are different from Daejong’s prices, anytime and anywhere in a tourist spot the prices is naturally high though.
I lived 5months in Korea so I could understand the difference of price. If I didn’t have experience living in overseas, I couldn’t. Next time I will go to other city as a tourist, I want to understand the difference with relative value judgment.
