Seoul Food

A Saturday in Seoul...headed up to Dongdaemun and ran across a massive "fashion market" ... hundred's of small stalls with fabric, fasteners, ribbon... everything you need to make clothes... me being there without Kel is sort of like a vegetarian in Smith & Wollenski. Dongdaemon has all sorts of wholesale markets, a huge flea market (plenty of cool t-shirts but all are too small for me) and there are also lots of crazy alleyways with all sorts of stuff being sold, cooking in the street (see the fish in photo) and guys on scooters taking short cuts without slowing down.

A short ride on the subway and I was in Myeongdong - this area is super packed on a Saturday, many of the leading brand stores you'd find in a mall in Bellevue or Bondi Junction are here plus a ton of street stalls that seemed to be selling fried stuff (?) or knock-offs. The weather was actually pretty good which really suits this area with all stores on small pedestrian streets (no cover), there were stages with rock bands and one that was surrounded by hundreds of teenage girls who were going crazy for some Korean soap star.

One week until Kel get's back to Sydney, I can't wait for that but wish she was with me today.

Bye and all the best, Mark
