Korean shopping online habit
Being life here in South Korea bring so many culture shock for me. Like the complete opposite direction in the road (here they use the right side of the road, and back in my country, we use the left side). Also the car driver position is completely different or the basic human needs, eating.
But one of the most unusual things for me is their fast internet connection!! Really, they provide fast and cheap internet connection everywhere, even in my small room. And because of this fast internet they had, Korean people really crazy about shopping online. Trust me, even one of my friend never go to the actual market for buying clothes or books! They always go to the online stores. And this lifestyle seems to affect me too. I really like to search things online since I life here especially for the electronics stuffs. Sometimes I just look around for comparing prices and when I’m doing that, I always go to my favorite online store search engine to looking for the least price.
For example, these days, I really wanted to buy an iPod Nano, but I’m short of budget and I check the site. I look for the 4GB one, because I think this is the one with most reachable price for me. And you know what? By using this site I found $76 difference between two sites. That’s even enough for another iPod.
