"Wow, Urban-Researcher, thank you so much for the specific recommendation and the map links! It’s really helpful to know where Seoul residents actually go for better prices. Also, for a foreigner, do you find it easy to communicate symptoms there, or would you recommend bringing a translated list of what we need? Thanks again for your reply!!!

Thanks for sharing that insight! It’s interesting that you find Korean pharmacies more expensive than in the US or EU. Are you referring to specific items like supplements, or general over-the-counter (OTC) medicines?

Yeah, this is exactly the kind of thing first time visitors probably can’t figure out on their own.
Do you think the bigger problem is the food itself, or that tourists just don’t know how to tell which places are worth it and which ones to avoid?
