For the past few days, I've been exloring my school area with my exchange mates from NTU namely Shen Nan, Rouxin and Flora; and Shaoqin, another Singaporean from SMU we met in our exchange university.There are 3 universities in the vicinity and 1 of them is the world largest women university, hence the streets are filled with students and there are lots of restaurants, clothing stores, cafes, cosmetics stores, hair salons etc that cater to their tastes and needs. The stores here close late too, at 11 pm or later. So its always bustling with activites all day and night.
Some familiar stores...
Things from the face shop are selling very cheap here, so do other korean brands such as Laneige, Skin Food, Missha etc. Imported brands on the other hand cost significantly higher so we've been buying korean brand toiletrettes here.
We've been eating tradional korean food for the past days so we got kind of sick as its either rice with soup, ramen or kimbap (korean sushi). There are many roadside stalls along the streets where we can get fried rice cakes and other snacks conveniently and cheaply whenever we feel hungry. Meat is really expensive here so we will only eat bbq pork, fried chicken and other meats once in awhile, during the weekends.
