Just need a Korean person with you to haggle your way through it. I don't know what the pay as you go is like but I have a normal plan unlike a pay as you go and feel fine. <br /><br />2. What is your size? First find out what it is in Korean sizes. I used korea4expats website to help me. You don't need to go to Itaewon. Coex is a good place too... The shoe store ABC Mart has Puma and also the shoe store LEssMore. You can find these in COEX or any major department store mall type place. I have bought shoes in Itaewon at an Athlete's Foot ...they were sandals. The bottom line you don't have to settle for Itaewon. But if you do have big feet I hear that is the place to go.<br /><br />3. Craigslist. Facebook Marketplace. As for deliver that is going to be tricky. You can order them I guess from a store online and they will deliver it. Secondhand might be the way to go. <br /><br />4.I will have to give you my links when I am at work. That's where they are...heck I could just email you bookmarks and you could figure it out that way. ;)<br /><br />5.) Seeing eye glasses? I don't know..I don't where'em. sorrrrrrryJIWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14828166111322700393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057735579751129134.post-40198316796120054432010-03-18T19:20:02.897+09:002010-03-18T19:20:02.897+09:001- I use a plan at 3,000KRW a month. I just get b...1- I use a plan at 3,000KRW a month. I just get billed for what I use. My bills are usually 20,000KRW or less (I call the US twice a month). You can walk in to virtually any cell phone store and get a phone. The thing is your going to need your coordinator or someone who can speak Korean. If she unavailable then cell phone stores in Itaewon would be your best bet. Also Korean phone contracts are between 2-3 years and because your only here for a year you’ll end up paying a lot for a phone. I was lucky enough to get my phone from my coordinators sister but my friend had to pay around 200,000KRW for hers.<br /><br />2- I shop in Myeong-dong for tops at forever21 they have western sizes. Itaewon is the only place I know where US size 9 and up can get women’s shoes. If you don’t mind men’s style boots/sneakers you can get your shoes pretty much anywhere they sell footwear. <br /><br />3- There are many Korean online sites that are like eBay . I brought some Saucony sneakers from a Korean online shopping with my co-teacher help of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
