이태원 참으로 재미있고 다양한 문화가 공존 하는 곳 입니다~~.
반나절로는 돌아보기 시간이 모자라요 :D
맛있는것도 먹어야 하고 쇼핑도 해야하고 앤틱거리도 돌아봐야 하고...
언제 다시 갈 수 있을진 모르겠지만, 다음에 가게 된다면 더 많이 돌아 다니다 올거예욤^^
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
About 22,000 people reside in the district and it is a popular area for residents of Seoul, tourists, and U.S. Military personnel in Korea. Mainly, points around Hamilton Hotel.
Many restaurants serving international dishes are found in this area including cuisine from India,Pakistan,Turkey, The United States, Canada, Germany, Spain, Italy,England, France and Mexico, foods that are not widely available in Korea. Essentially, it's known as "Western Town"; reminiscent of many Chinatowns in many Western countries. Itaewon is also, along with Insadong and Seoul Tower, one of the most popular areas in Seoul for tourists. Major hotels such as The Grand Hyatt and local landmark The Hamilton Hotel can be found here as well as dozens of shops and services aimed at tourists. High quality leather products in Korea can be found here at reasonable prices (though haggling is expected) as well as various types of traditional Korean souvenirs. Counterfeit goods and clothing are ubiquitous and of varying quality, but some genuine goods which are produced in Korea for the international market as well as some authentic imports can sometimes be found here. Itaewon is also known to have various tailors that peddle their services for making custom-made suits. Aside from the tongue-in-cheek businesses that exist, there is a rich community of business owners, including a pie shop owner from the U.S.A. (Tartine), authentic American burgers, a wine bar, an Austrian delicatessen (with an array of cheeses and meats), a veterinarian/pet groomer with an excellent reputation, a chiropractor from Oregon, doctors and nurses, pharmacists, and grocery shop owners.
