In case you are a student - who moved with only 20 kilos of FREE baggage allowed, with or without a scholarship and less opportunity to bring with you the basics such as your tupperware, mugs, plates, forks etc - then what are the places, stores and neighborhood that you should NOT miss during your stay in Korea. Well, the list can be long as Korea is full of huge stores, shopping malls, subway underground malls, university neighborhood shopping districts, Truck stores and traditional markets to name a few. My pick of the day is Daiso - Korea...where one can spend hours in there, can literally find just about anything you need in your life and be totally happy...
Daiso (毛陇矛麓矛) is the same as the Dollar Store in the US or a 100 Yen Stores in Japan or IKEA of Sweden...actually hybrid of all these three is DAISO-毛陇矛麓矛! Price range is 500 won-8,000 won.
Dais脜 (茫露茫禄茫鈧ＢっＢ矫Ｂ�) is the largest franchise of 100-yen shops in Japan owned by Daiso Sangyo Corp. (忙聽陋氓录盲录莽陇戮氓陇搂氓碌莽拢忙楼颅, with headquarters in Hiroshima Prefecture). Daiso has a range of over 100,000 goods, of which over 40 percent are imported goods, many of them from China. Daiso sets itself apart from other 100 yen shops by purchasing directly from manufacturers in very high volume, a strategy often compared to Wal-mart.
