✈️ Followed the package tour team into a shopping mall store
That day was such a hilariously funny day, I couldn't stop laughing. We had lunch behind the Radisson Hotel and were walking back when a bunch of people got off a tour bus and started filing into a building with no sign on it. And the voices were speaking Korean! Haha They seemed to be an elderly package tour group. Seeing them all crowd in together, I was like, what is this? What's going on? Should we follow them in too? My curiosity mode kicked in! Haha Feeling a bit hesitant, I casually followed along and went inside. Haha Once inside, it turned out to be a brand store carrying all sorts of branded bags, shoes, and clothing. It's more expensive than the local market, but the quality looked good, and most of the items were new products you can't find at the local market. When I chatted with the Korean owner, he said they smuggle them out from a factory in Vietnam. Haha The Stussy t-shirts are brought in the same way too... They say the Nike t-shirts are genuine, brought in through some back-channel or whatever... Not sure if that's really true lol. As for the shoes, when I tried them on, the lining and cushioning were clearly different from the fake-market stuff — they felt close to genuine. The prices are all the same and they won't give a discount. T_T It's a fixed price of 89,000 won. I wanted to buy those shoes back in Korea and was looking around, but they were over 200,000 won so I couldn't afford them — but I ended up buying one here~^^ After trying them on, they looked even prettier and the cushioning felt really nice. The staff were young ladies, and since I was there mixed in among older customers browsing around, I felt like they were glancing at me here and there with a look like "what's a young person doing here?" Among ourselves we couldn't help but find it absurd and funny at the same time, and we laughed for a good while. We joked with the owner, "how did you even find this place~" haha. I told them I saw a crowd of people going in as I was passing by, so I followed along, and they laughed. Hahahaha
