When I lived in Korea I never went to any regular stores to get honey. It's impossible to find the creamy unfiltered honey in Korea, but you can find good pure local honey, where I lived there were many honey producers (Eonyang/Yongnam Alps area) where you could buy directly from the producer, but I usually hit up my local NongHyeop Market because they had a local Ulju-gun producers section with free-range eggs and honey and rice and certain veggies and fruit in season and locally made tofu, it was a pretty decent store.

I’d love to try that honey!! All the honey I’ve seen in Korea (even at small local markets in different provinces) seem a lot thinner in consistency than what I’m used to in Canada, and I haven’t yet found one I’m a fan of, taste-wise.

I also get stuff for yeast infections as things like monastat are hard to find (maybe TMI but important information).

Hi. I am going to visit Seoul + Busan in July and have a shellfish allergy. I heard shrimp is in many many things. Any tips to stay safe? Or items that I should steer clear from that I might not expect to have shelfish? Thanks :)

@@twistedtippy22 I avoid most soup dishes since a lot of soup dishes use fish sauce and I don't like to risk cross contamination. Sometimes you can also find mystery fish/shellfish in soups. So unless you know for sure that it doesn't contain seafood, I would avoid soups/stews. Also, and I know it's sad, but kimchi. A lot of kimchi has small, salted shrimp in it. With Busan being a port city with TONS of seafood you might struggle to eat there. Because I also have a nut allergy I am even more limited so when I eat out I have a list of my allergens in Korean but I also choose foods and restaurants that I can cook my own food at (like bbq) or if it's a sit down place that might have my allergens on the menu I go with a Korean friend who can explain my allergies. Another friend of mine also has a shellfish allergy (she is more sensitive than I am and even smell/sitting near it can trigger her) and she has told me that she finds it frustrating that Koreans don't consider shrimp to be shellfish so she has to say "shellfish AND shrimp". Also, I'm sure you are aware, but octopus and squid are also no goes for us and they are popular so just watch out for those as well

whenever i travel to northamerica i go into a shopping frenzy-- for real: the variety of everything and anything is just overwhelming! i don't think I've ever seen so much in one place together. but also the size of the containers is gigantic. if you have a half kilo philadelphia cheesecream tub, you're going to need a big fridge as well- i feel everything is oversized... anywho, the market is so much bigger than my country's and there's so much more people that i actually buy there everything i cannot find in my own country or that is is more affordable (even accounting for taxes on foreing currency and my country's inflation)-- clothing for instance is incredibly more affordable, more diverse and better fitted for me in the US than in my country.. so i end up coming back with my suitcases filled with new clothes for me and the family

Shopping before flying back home abroad is always bittersweet. The differences weren't so drastic for me going between the US and UK, but before leaving the US I always stocked up on: huge bottles of ibuprofen and other household medicines from Sam's (we don't have a Costco womp womp), quality maple syrup, seasoning mixes and spices, cornbread mix, toothpaste, supplements, and any electronics/technology. Luckily it's usually a matter of saving money and taking advantage of the greater variety of things in the US rather than just not being able to find them in the UK. And no matter which direction I'm coming from I always bring local products (e.g. alcohol, honey, jam, coffee, candles etc) as gifts.

If you go through lot of stomach meds, you should give it a try. I am not sure if they sell it Korea but it should be there in places like Walgreens in Canada. Some people who suffered a lengthy battle with stomach issues have found that it reduces or sometimes eliminate the stomach issue.

Wow! You guys weren’t kidding when you catch the stock. Is there no way to ship them to yourself? Do you have to bring all of it back in your luggage? And if so, what was Kristen sent you from buying an additional suitcase just to bring back more of the things that you need for a sufficient amount of the big picture from Canada? Period. I’m not surprised they don’t have a lot of the snacks material that they do in Canada available in Korea. Korea has so many snacks already that are more native or indigenous to Korea. I’m not as sure about the cereal. Maybe it’s because cereal has become a recent thing as in the last 20 years or so. So I’m not sure, but I’m glad that you all are able to get what you need and I hope you’re able to get it all back to Canada.

Does Korea have any restrictions regarding taking in certain food products ? Some countries outright don’t allow plant based products in, food or otherwise. I am also interested to know what products you bought must be declared for customs in Korea. Some countries allow in food products that are vacuum packed, and I personally bought a home vacuum sealing machine for this purpose.

After watching your video i think there are lots of problems in Korea regarding getting things. They think only about Asian people but they should bring some more sizes and fittings in lingerie and clothes. Because there are not only Asians staying but other countries people do stay 😅

So the stuff that you buy how do you ship them back? Do you bring an extra suitcase? And how does that work with the airlines? Do you have to pay extra? Also…. About the clothes….. I am also a woman that is 5’9” and I also wear a size 10 shoes. so does South Korea have magazines to where you can order the correct size of clothing? It is my understanding that most stores will not have your size.
@2hearts1seoul

We always bring an extra suitcase, so we have 3 large pieces of luggage in total for checked baggage. There are no magazines here to order larger sizes for clothes or shoes. For clothes, you can go to western brand stores, but they don’t usually have long lengths of anything, and their pants only go up to a certain size. You might be able to find a few styles online on the Korean version of foreign shoe brands, but you’ll likely have to just get men’s sizes.

Websites for American brands (example, H&M United States) will not ship to addresses outside of the United States, so no. Sometimes Amazon U.S will ship certain items to Korea though, but shipping is sometimes expensive.
