Hey! Thanks for the note. I am just beginning my search. I am also very fortunate that I have an older biological sister who was adopted with me, and a super supportive husband so I am not alone. Were you successful in your search?
So so cool. These are the districts in Seoul that you should definitely go to. You should definitely go to Itaewon for shopping. They have really good quality clothes and traditional Korean items for low prices. That's where you go for bargains. Myung Dong is a higher end shopping place that was my absolute favorite place for the cutest, hip, clothes. It can be expensive sometimes. Celebrities shop there. I was so excited to see a scarf that I bought there on TV twice on celebs and twice in magazines on celebs. Go there for Korean fashion. The other place that celebrities shop for clothes is Rodeo Drive. I actually bought the most clothes there. Soooo stylish and really hip Korean fashion, with lots of stores that weren't too expensive. Incedon is good for cultural goods. Basically, just all of Seoul is amazing. Then if you can get out to other cities and more rural areas, those are good too. It lets you see all of Korea. I want to go back with a group of adoptees, I haven't been able to since I was 11. It didn;t mean anything to me then, and now it means everything.
