A new supermarket has opened on the 1132 going towards Moseulpo. It is called HanRo, a very popular Korean supermarket. I checked it out and it is a cross between E-mart and W-mart. You'll find all you would normally find in a Korean supermarket, so W-Mart still wins for imported stuff. Here are some pics of the outside and a few sneaky ones of the inside. NB - they have the kind of shopping cart/trolleys that need the 100 KWR coin to use them. Here is the Google Maps Link:- For those new to the GEC this is not a big deal... so there's a supermarket in the GEC... so what?! But for those of you who have been here for longer than a year, you know what a game changer this is. Now, as well as Market Origin on the other side of the hub that is becoming a center of focus, now there is also another option to do your shopping!
This allows you to go up the road (or down the street) to pick up a few things or even do a whole weekly shop... all within five minutes of where you will be working. Those of us who were here before W-mart opened in Moseulpo, remember the days where we had to drive +45 minutes to either Jeju city or Seogwipo to the E-mart/Lotte Mart/Home Plus/Martro stores. Revel in this, GECers! This is awesome news! And check out the new ATM just next to the Edu City Mart across from the side entrance ;-) Here's how to order... FYI - you don't have to do all of this! You will be very full ;-)
There is a variety of tofu on the menu so this is good for vegans and vegetarians too. There are free refills on the soup and the basket of vegetables that are brought to your table. Ask your server for the soup to be refilled, and help yourself to the vegetable refills
This is a relatively new nail salon in the GEC. The main difference is between this and other options for nail care in the GEC is ... it has those lovely fancy spa chairs, there are massages available AND callus removal. A truly, 'remember-how-we-have-them-back-home' experience that can usually only be found in Seoul.
YooHee, the owner, speaks excellent English and seems to be open every day. (She can also be open on Saturdays if you make an arrangement with her well in advance.) As you will see, there are only two chairs available, and presently there is only her working in the salon. However, she has plans to hire another person when the GEC is populated again (i.e. not during holiday time and the GEC is like a ghost town). There is a menu of options for both manis and pedi (e.g. callus removal, wet/dry mani/pedis, massage, gel colour, etc.). There are also a few items for foot and nail care for sale, which again is a pleasant addition to the ever growing GEC arsenal of commodities. FYI - It is recommended that you make an appointment!
