Seoul Day 5 - T-Money and Underground Shopping


     Korea’s subway system is clean, large, and easy to understand from getting one destination to another.  I got a new T-Money card and it’s the cutest metro card ever!
    The T-Money card can be used to swipe over a scanner to enter and exit the subway station. It can also be used as a debt card to pay fares to taxi drivers.  All the underground stations have machines where you can top up your T-Money card.  These machines have the “English” option, thank goodness!  There are also machines underground that have Google street view and tourist information to help you navigate around the city.

Underground shopping in Korea is very different from what I'm use to in Canada.  In Canada, we have an underground shopping area called "The Path" but the variety of shops are very different!  In Korea it seems that it's mostly made up of fast fashion shops, beauty shops and there are many cute accessory stores to be found scattered throughout the area.

  This mannikin has the biggest eyes, oh my gosh!
