    Everyone, so sorry!! I don't think my budget was 10,000 won (~10$)!! I honestly have no idea how I didn't catch that - unless these books were on a bigger sale than I remember, but if anything, I was probably able to stay within budget due to sales and coupons!! again, so sorry for the misinformation! 😭

    :o thats so nice to see so many english books in south korea! I love book shopping! Are books very expensive there? Considering its imported? I live in Indonesia, books are so expensive here :((

      Yes! It was exciting to see how the English selection grew! 🤩 book shopping’s the best hehe! Oof, the books here are pretty expensive too! The range differs but sometimes it’s too shocking to buy 😂 They tend to be slightly cheaper online, so I buy most of my books online 😅

    Love the PF Flyers! I have two pairs. What a fun video. I have wanted to read The Secret History for years, but still don't have a copy. One day. LOL
    Ooh! Good reminder on the posture. I straightened up with you. I was wondering if you bought the Cat Who Saved Books. I'm interested in that one. It's good to have a budget and be selective about the purchases.

      thank you so much! 🥰 yes, one day haha! honestly, booktok made me super curious and I wanted to try reading dark academia lol
      ah, that's amazing! I straightened my posture reading this comment LMAO and yes, I did buy The Cat Who Saved Books! It was too pretty not to get 😩 that's true! it'd be too dangerous if I hadn't had a budget 😂😂

    OMG I love reading English books and I live in Seoul. Is this 교보문고 and are there still these many books there??

    • @dokjayoon
      @dokjayoon  2 года назад

      Yes it is 교보문고!! Unfortunately, they downsized the English section a little bit, but they still have a decent amount! It’s the one at 광화문, which I feel has the largest selection

    $10 for 3 books!?! its like $20 per book in my country... where do you usually get your books (cheap)? online websites etc...

    • @dokjayoon
      @dokjayoon  2 года назад +2

      oh my gosh, I am SO SORRY!! I honestly did not realize I had said 10,000 (~10$) 😭😭 I was not able to do so, but I think my budget was around 20, if not 25,000 Won! again, so sorry omg I don't know how I didn't catch that??
      also, unfortunately, the websites I order from don't ship internationally, only in Korea :( however, book depository is a good option for cheaper/ discounted book prices and they offer free shipping worldwide!

      only the hardcover was around 20 dollars? everything else was below that, I'm pretty sure (it's been a while so I can't remember lol 😅) but true that, hardcovers can be pretty expensive
