Material girls

Woke up in the morning and felt like I needed to burn some cash and indulge in the busy shopping streets of Seoul. We headed to Myeng-dong, Seoul's shopping Mecca mixing local Korean brands with H&M and Forever 21. 

 Koreans love for everything pink and cute does not stop at E-mart. Every few meters there is a princess world of makeup/clothes/shoes. All to make your day feel a bit more sparkly! Outside most makeup stores are also the "microphone girls". These girls (will try to find a snapshot at a later moment) provided with microphone headset are standing outside the stores, hands full of free little gifts trying to lour you in too their magic land of glitter and commercialism.

There is one peculiar thing though about shopping in Korea. You are not allowed to try the clothes on, if I have understood it right is this because the store owners are afraid that you might sweat on their clothes or leave makeup stains. Due to this Korean shopping is one big guessing game, especially since the Korean body measurements are slightly smaller then the Europeans. 

We shopped until it got dark and our feet's were aching
