How to shop online in Korea

September 10, 2009 - 6:18 pm 2 Comments

I have noticed that in Korea, it seems to be easier for Americans at least to find plenty of imported goods from back home to satisfy their homesick palettes. However as a Brit it seems that we are not so lucky. I can only dream of finding a decent brand of British tea or UK made Cadburys Dairy Milk on the shop shelves. Whilst I am not one for condoning free advertising for companies in this blog entry, I do want to tell you about an amazing website I have been introduced to by one of my Korean co-workers. If you come to Korea to teach English you will usually be set up with in your apartment with various essentials such as a rice cooker in your kitchen, plus of course various furniture such as a bed and a sofa. However you might find that you need to purchase some odd extras like err.AN OVEN! Yeah you heard right! Koreans dont generally have ovens in their own homes.

So yeah, this is where this website comes in handy. Known as Gmarket it kinda does exactly what it says on the tin. An online market; consisting of different companies selling various items from house ware, to electrical items, to food and drink, only at a fraction of the price to what you might find in the shops here in Bucheon and the rest of Korea. And there is an English option!!! Woohoooo!!!! The best part is, you also can find great British substitutes to keep yourself happy! I ordered a very cheap mini oven the other day and it arrived this morning! So now I can bake to my hearts content and also make a Traditional English Sunday Roast Dinner!……YUMMMMM!!! Click on the video to see a guide as well as my own experience of using this very appreciated site!
