Fans of shopping can visit Korean shops like museums. Everything is neatly packed, and items are always tidy and well organized. Shopping centers are large, and so it is easy to spend several hours in them. When you feel tired, you can sit in a café and enjoy a light meal or a drink. It is impossible to get lost because shopping centers around the world look much alike – food, items, and cinema. Such chains of shops as Daiso and Artbox are great for shopping souvenirs.
