Saturday we decided that we wanted to check out the inner city of Seoul, so we hit up a market/mall called Dongdaemun. Upon exiting the subway (only about a 30 min trip) we were bombarded with street vendors which were on both sides of the side walk. The market was not oly on the street but underground as well....streching under at least a couple of blocks. We found our way through the market into a high rise mall. The building as massive....with stores on 11 floors. The stores were categorized by floor according to what the sold....shoes, toys ect. The stores didn't have any walls or doors but were set up in a market style, but the stores still had really nice expensive stuff. The food vendors sold some interesting stuff, like dried fish that looked like jerky and soemthing that looked like a corn dog except with french fries around it instead of corn bread. We wondered around for most of the day. Later we found out that we were in one of 4 high rise malls at Dongdaemun.
just an fyi we are working on a photobucket site so that we can put all our pictures there and everyne can look at them.
