Christmas Market

Some friends I recently went on a shopping trip to seoul in search of Christmas ornaments and decorations.  One of our shopping destinations was the Express Bus Terminal.  This is not only a bus terminal and subway station, it's also a great place for shopping all year round!  You can buy everything from plants, to clothing, to furniture from over 1,000 vendors at great bargains.  To learn more, click here for an article and video featured on discoveringkorea.com.

This time of year, a Christmas market appears in the Express Bus Terminal.  If you arrive by subway, go out of exit 8.  There are plenty of Christmas things there (still underground in the station) and there is also an entire floor, floor 3, devoted to Christmas and flowers in the bus terminal building (near exit 8 if you go above ground).  I'm not sure I've ever seen so many Christmas decorations in one place before.  It was so festive and beautiful to see.  We all left with a little something to decorate our apartments :)
