Specialized shopping malls for electronic gadgets are scattered all over the city:
- the interior is normally white-washed and bright, so bright that it hurts the eyes.
- display goods are inside glass cases, with no price tags.
- the vendor will punch the price on his calculator, and no haggling.
- display goods inside the cases are lit with very bright bulbs, which hurt the eyes even more.
- all vendors sell the same models of digicams, mp3 players, videocams, cellphones, etc.
- all vendors seem to agree on a similar price for each stuff, so not competitive at all.
- no photography,which is odd since the vendors are selling countless digicams.
- there are hardly any customers!
In short: forget Seoul if you are shopping for gadgets. Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong or our own KL are much better!
