What makes you want to visit Korea? Korean Food and Korean Fashion Market.


There are so many tourists coming to Korea these days and the number of tourists is increasing every year. 
When you go out city, it is not hard to see foreigners in Korea.
Places like Myeongdong and Itaewon are packed with foreigners than local people.
Also there are many English signs on the streets and public areas in Korea.
I have seen and met a lot of foreigners came to Korea to try many things.
And I would like to write about the two most common things that foreigners come to Korea for. 
The two things are Korean food and shopping (Korea Fashion Clothing).

Firstly, Korea is known for healthy, well-being traditional food, spicy food and needless to say, soju the alcohol. Korean foods are very healthy foods and low calory.
Bibimbap is one of the most popular foods in Korea. The word Bibimbap means mixed rice with vegetables. 
It is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with all kinds of vegetables and chili pepper paste. You would probably try it on the plane to Korea, if you fly with Korean Air. It’s their most popular food served on the plane and have very good reviews and reputation.

Another one is a little far from healthy food, but you can’t neglect street foods when you talk about Korean food. My favorite street food, Tornado Potato! 
You can easily find it on the streets, especially in Myeongdong, Seoul. 
Myeongdong is known for a big shopping district filled up with many Korean Clothes stores and it also has many street foods, so you will never get hungry while shopping.
The tornado potato is sprinkled with seasonings: cheese, chili and barbeque.
It’s not only being found served up on the streets, but in several of the fried chicken restaurants.

Secondly, Korean clothing. If you want to go shopping for Korean clothes, I’d recommend you to go to dongdaemun. 
There are big department stores like Doota, Apm and Migliore. Dongdaemun is the biggest Korean Fashion market for wholesales and retails. 
Almost every clothes in Korea are made in dongdaemun. But nowadays dongdaemun market is going downhill because of online stores. 
Korea’s fast speed internet has made Korean fashion online market bigger.

There are numerous Korean fashion clothing online stores and they offer cheap Korean clothes than offline stores. 
It makes buyers to shop online rather than go out stores. It is actually a very convenient way. I have shopped Korean clothes online several times and it was satisfactory. Payment is easy if you have a paypal account. Shipping is safe and fast. Some stores offer Free international shipping. Quality is also very good. Their photos are very clear that you can feel like you are actually seeing the material.
Here is a list of the Korean fashion websites that I would like to share with you.
