Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

Shopping in Korea is more than just a transaction. It is an opportunity to experience the vibrant Korean culture and interact with locals. Traditional markets, known as "sijang," are common in many cities and towns across the country. These markets offer a wide variety of goods, from fresh produce to clothing and accessories. They are bustling with energy and are a great place to immerse yourself in the local culture.

One interesting fact about shopping in Korea is the popularity of street food at markets. It is common to find food stalls selling delicious Korean snacks and dishes. So while you shop, you can also satisfy your taste buds with some mouthwatering treats. Some popular street foods include tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), hotteok (sweet pancakes), and mandu (dumplings).

Another cultural aspect to consider is the importance of politeness and respect during shopping interactions. Koreans value courteousness and appreciate when customers show respect to the sellers. Therefore, it is always a good idea to greet the seller with a polite "Annyeonghaseyo" and to say "Gamsahamnida" (Thank you) after completing a purchase.
