Online Shopping In Korea

If you haven't heard, online shopping is the best place to get great deals in Korea.  My wife and I usually go to websites such as Gmarket to buy things because we usually can get awesome deals.  From shampoo to clothes, computer accessories to food, you can find almost anything through the online shopping malls.

It always amazes me at the great deals we can get my buying online.  Not only are these places good to buy products, but you can also get great deals on places to go such as Lotte World, Everland, Seoul Land, restaurants and travel deals.  In other words, you can SAVE a lot of money.  The only thing is that I'm lucky that my wife is Korean so she is able to search and go through the whole buying process.  If you're a foreigner like me, it would be very difficult to go through all that.

We have created a company called Korea To You.com which will save you the trouble of trying to navigate through the only Korean websites.  If you see something you like, just contact us and we will do the purchasing for you

Also, if there is something you are looking for that isn't on here you can let us know by sending in a request for an item and we will try to find the best deal for you.

Amazing Travels, Amazing Eats In Korea

This is our first post.  We have lots of pictures we've taken from different places we have been to so I will start uploading them and start writing about great places to go to.  The thing I've noticed about most websites and blogs about Korean travel and Korean food is that they are usually about main tourist places.  Some of those places are good to go to because many tourists do go there, however, there are many other places to go to in Korea that aren't mentioned.  There are also many 맛집 (Korean word for delicious restaurants) that have delicious food reasonable prices.  Before I met my wife I didn't see very much of Korea nor did I eat many different types of foods besides the regular 삼겹살 (pork belly), 갈비 (pork ribs), 닭갈비 (marinated chicken in spicy sauce) and other main foods that foreigners mostly eat.  If you go away a bit from the toursity places, you are able to find some restaurants where you will get more value for your money.  It might even be cheaper!!!  I will post up pictures as well as information about those places as well as how to get there.  Hope you enjoy and feel free to leave comments.
