當我們出國旅遊的時候，除了遊覽景點之外，shopping當然是不可缺少的一環啦! 在旅遊購物的時候，你會發現有些地方買起東西非常的方便，主要的原因有以下四項:
1. Getting around: Quality of public transportation, affordability and availability of cabs, transport time
交通便利、計程車便宜又隨處可得、來回的交通時間距離都在可接受範圍
2. Value: Bargain opportunities, such as sale seasons and average prices.
購物的重點當然就是折扣的幅度囉~另外還有商家的議價空間也很重要
3. Variety: Number of available brands,range of shopping categories, quantity of upscale
shops, department stores,boutique and vintage retailers and market stalls.
商店和品牌的多樣性，從高級到中價位的商品都買得到
4. Experience: City beauty, quality of window displays and shop décor, friendliness and competence of clerks and service staff, dining and accommodation options.
城市本身是否有裝飾、服務人員的服務品質和態度、周邊的住宿和餐飲是否方便等等，都是shoppers在意的要點之一
現在，我們來看一下，到底哪些城市位居購物天堂的前12大呢?
12. Seoul
