The range and price were amazing! <br /><br />Both days they offered me a lift to the station and on my second day, the older gentleman gave me a few pieces for free. <br /><br />The two back warehouses are worth a look at if you get invited. I bought quite a few pieces off the bolts that I didn't find in the front showroom.

Happy Quilt is .5 miles (800 meters) from the Jije Station if you exit the back of the building and walk on the roads through the fields. It is slightly longer (.6 miles) if you exit the front of the building and go on the sidewalk over the bridge.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958269472075602195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292004670558709724.post-80712058243873752462014-03-04T22:06:48.980-08:002014-03-04T22:06:48.980-08:00What subway exit is it?

However, you would need to call for a taxi at the store to take you back to the train station so if you don't speak Korean, then have someone write "call me a taxi" on paper for you because the store workers speak limited English. Once you have a taxi, tell the driver "Jije Yok ka-ju-say-o" (which means "please go to Jije Station). Have fun!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958269472075602195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292004670558709724.post-36250862102519739792013-04-18T06:29:40.063-07:002013-04-18T06:29:40.063-07:00Well my day finally is tomorrow,I so happy to go e...Well my day finally is tomorrow,I so happy to go even I need to be in the train for about 3 hours along lol..Do you know if I can take a taxi from the train station to the store.I really don't want to walk all that along.A little worry about this..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292004670558709724.post-62526254971799957312013-03-27T20:13:29.968-07:002013-03-27T20:13:29.968-07:00That's awesome!

On March 9th, I followed your directions and found a treasure trove of fabrics at Happy Quilt. When I asked for the Vera Bradley fabrics, I got a blank stare from the man at the checkout counter (no one speaks English there), but when I showed him the photos on your blogsite, he smiled and pointed me right to the Vera Bradley selection. Thank you so much for giving me not only a great stash shopping day, but also one of the best stories of my trip.

Unfortunately the average vendor could not be trusted to calculate the correct exchange rate and often charged too much in USD. Therefore I almost always paid with Won everywhere and only used a credit card in trusted retail stores. I always paid with Won at Happy Quilt but I do believe they take credit cards as well.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958269472075602195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292004670558709724.post-77459884338213590432013-03-07T02:11:57.556-08:002013-03-07T02:11:57.556-08:00Hi,thanks for let me know,we are here already,just...Hi,thanks for let me know,we are here already,just move to the apartment..A soon is not too cold I will go..How can I pay there,won,USD..Can I use credit cards?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
