In the motivation section -when applying for exchange program- I mentioned Korea's industrialization as the subject that I'd like to study. And yes I did on-class and off-class study of it. The on-class is for me, because I'm an Economics student. Going further to the off-class, lemme bring you walk around the last chain of supply through lens! (Actually it's Professor Oh, not me. Kkk). We are gonna window shop several spots in Korea where you can chop your money and go broke in a couple of hour!
Seriously! Korea is one of the paradises for the shopaholic. The price of clothes and girlish apparels are dreadfully dirt-cheap (relative to foods and beverages) and uber cute!
I'm a student. How could I count?
In Korea, one proper meal may cost 15.000, whereas you can own a lovely skirt at only 45.000; by any chance, you only need to serve breakfast for one day meal on behalf one cutesy skirt. While the situation is warranted, you might also substitute your meal with canteen ticket. Let's apply the same comparison in Indonesia. One proper meal costs 10.000, whereas adorable skirt worths 100.000; hence, you must serve breakfast for at least three days to afford one comely skirt. See? Indonesia has more expensive skirt! Over this comparative advantage approach, shopping in Korea is more suggested! Let's turn all corridors into catwalks, Ladies!

| Myeongdong, Seoul |
I went to Seoul by train almost every week! I had exchange partners who are quite obsessive about fashion stuffs. Surely, as a good friend, I walked her here and there. It was very torturing having to close my eyes from all these tempting pleasures. Cosmetics are renowned to be reasonable most -if cannot be called as CHEAAAP- in here! Even with shoe-string budget, thousands of hi-end look clothes are available in fair -if cannot be called as HOLLLY CHEAP- price. Myeongdong, Insadong, Namdemun, and other -dongs/-mun are the must list on your itinerary (if you come by any chance). At worst, feel the atmosphere!

Ya Allah.......... please send me your overwhelming rizq to me, so then I can tadabur-alam with ease in your dunya and also add a number of shopping bags clinging on my hands to help Korea's economy where millions of tummy matter within it. Aamiin.
