The New Blue Plastic Bags at the Supermarket.

Since plastic bags at most major supermarkets were phased out at the end of last year, in favour of people using those heavy duty re-useable bags, I've noticed in the past few weeks that the option of a plastic bag is available again. But this time, they are blue and from your local council / 구 office (similar to the white bags used for trash).

JEANS??

Has anyone bought any decent jeans for a decent price?

 I'm looking for some decent jeans $70-100ish range. 

Something of a higher quality than Uniqulo. 

I've seen Calvin Klein and Armani Exchange but never checked out their prices...which I am assuming are ridiculous. 

Any hints let me know! 

Cheers

Where to get an Xbox 360 in Busan or online

Hey


So I've been looking to get an Xbox 360 from somewhere in Busan that hasn't been modded. I've found the odd one in massive superstores, but I'd like to find somewhere i can buy games etc from, or possibly even a 2nd hand console. For a country that is so crazy about games, I haven't seen any video game stores anywhere! I've seen a few online, but they're pretty expensive on the sites I've been on.

Korean Christmas CDs

It's the holiday season again. I was trying to figure out what to give the folks and idea I had was a holiday CD in Korean.

I know that Christmas isn't a popular holiday here (at least not like back home).

Does anyone know where I can get a Korean Christmas CD?  Either the location/website or the name of the singer/group who has Christmas CDs out? 

Thanks

WTB Fitness Equipment/Free Weights

Any shops in Busan/Changwon are that specialize in fitness equipment?

I've just finished 2 months of Insanity and getting ready for P90X. 

I'm looking for bands, yoga blocks, small and large free weights, heart rate monitor chest band, etc.  If anyone has these used for sale please post a pic and price and PM your contact info.

Clothes/Shopping thread

Ok, so Winter is coming fast, and I need some more clothes but I'm not so familiar with where to shop for what. 

So can we make a general thread for shops people like, where they are, and what you can get there.  Especially if you know of good Korean shops/independent shops/student fashion/boutique or specialist clothing places.  Like good places for jeans, suits, fancy dress - anything really!

So some general western-ish shops I know:


Let me know some largest shop of Black Yak

On February I will visit Korea again to try Chiri-san Mountain and others as many as possible.

 

But only after I land on pusan , I hope to buy some tools like six-points-eisen overmitton-goretex-glove-cover and else.

 

On recent trip, I found a quite small shop on Chunondong next to KB-bank , and I bought a 2person's tents with quite cheap price. 55000won, Wow the same one cost tentimes more expensive in Japan. And design of BlackYak tent is superior than Japanese makers' like MontBell.
