The annual Seoul Summer Sale (2011 SSS), a shopping and tourism festival for foreign and local tourists, kicked off its 38-day shopping spree last June 24 with a bang. 2011 SSS was an initiative of the Seoul Metropolitan Government in cooperation with other private corporations and enterprises. For this year, they launched a group of supporters composed of foreign students and Korean university student who will monitor various events and promos which they will later post on their individual blogs and at the official site of Seoul Summer Sale Supporters. They act as mystery shoppers to check the quality of service and discounts partner establishments present to SSS Card holders…(by the way, you can get your free Summer Sale Card showing the adorable Super Junior at the 5th Floor of M-Plaza which is a 3 minute walk from Myeong-dong Station, Line 4, Exit 6).
