It is suggested that you use the search feature first before posting because the website already has a wealth of information!

www.Nicemarket.net Missing Dr. Pepper? Like cooking curries? A little slice of home can be delivered to your door! All of the western groceries you’ve been missing can usually be found here. Running out of Busan, this company usually only delivers once a week, so be sure to check their delivery schedule!

www.expatmart.co.kr  Just like Nicemarket, but with a lot more selection! Specifically in the Indian Curry department! Also, this company delivers more often, but does charge a shipping fee of 3,000KRW if your order is under 70,000KRW

www.Gmarket.co.kr The amazon.com of Korea! Complete with English! Looking for a cheap tent? Knock off Uggs? Find them here! Delivery is incredibly fast (I’ve received things the NEXT day!)

www.lang-8.com If you would like a more intimate learning experience, lang-8 is a website where you can interact with native speakers. It is a language exchange for any series of languages!

www.whatthebook.com Miss reading? Based out of Seoul you can order English books! They have a nice and large selection of books, but allow 10 business days for shipping.

www.betterworldbooks.com This is another option for English books. A great aspect to this site is that for every book that is bought, the company gives a book to someone in need. It is also a great resources for book clubs!
