#8 : Introduction to korean markets

For the anecdote, I talked about how important are markets in Korea with a french businessman settled in Korea for 15 years now . He told me that markets in korea are kind of ubiquitous. 
Here you can still haggle for clothes, food ect ...
Also, in addition to traditional markets you can also in Korea buy everything in markets, I mean REALLY everything, from watchbands to electronic stuff (mainly cameras), from DIY tools to brooms, from animals to ...


Ok so now, I just want to show you how markets are taking an important place in Korea, even (and especially) on the internet. Korean browsers are kind of huuuuge market places where you can take some information. Even if you're not looking for something special you can find something : ads, news ... 


Let's compare korean browsers ....






To the probably most efficient occidental browser (google) 

.... Hum, do you see any difference?  On Google, you just get nothing, no ads, no news, I know that you can personalize your homepage, adding some information ect... but Google seems so purified and so clear compare to korean browsers !

Both of them get their own advantages, I mean on Google you're not boring with useless ads which pollute your homepage, you just get what YOU want on it (meteo, news ...).
But with Naver or Daum, you can get like a continuous flow of information
