I heard from my friend that most ladies who visited "Ming Dong" in Korea will become "crazy" and find not enough time to shop because the accessories such as bags are sooooooo... nice. The designs are more fashionable/ updated.

Skincare in Korea is relatively cheaper than Singapore and there have a seriously wide range of products and brand to chose from... Skincare is a must buy in Korea..

MyeongDong is the place, wholesale is at Namdaemun. And yes, skincare, kimchi, seaweed...

My ex bought a lot of earrings and face masks among others while I ogled at all the beautiful girls.

Skincare products: BB cream, whitening mask pack

Food products: Loose teas (Chrysanthemum, lotus flower and etc.) Dried seaweed packs. Chocolate with hongsam roots inside (It sounds weird but it actually taste better than any other jinsang products) Gochujang (Korean chilly paste)

Accessory: I love those small silk purses I bought at Insadong and Namdaemoon market. Many of NY friends compliments it. If you like glittering kinds, you can find cubic accessories everywhere in Korea!

if you are going to korea. BUY KRISPY KREME doughnuts. I bought 12 boxes back to SG.
Just get the glazed ones. Once you tried KRSIPY KREME glazed doughnuts, J.CO, dunkin donuts & donut factory's glazed doughnuts just don't measure up.

Haa.. Kidding aside. Korea are famous for three things, Accessories, makeup/skin care products and lastly ginseng.. but must know how to pick.. cos sometime they will give you bad quality..
