Gwangmyeong Market, Insadong, and Namdaemun Gate

This is mom's last weekend in Korea, so what did we do: SHOPPING!  

On Saturday, we went to Myeongdong and Gwangmyeong Market.  Myeongdong is a tourist shopping area, that has a lot of different shops; especially western sized shops.  We spent about 4 hours shopping, eating, and chatting.  It was great.  After Myeongdong we went to a traditional marketplace, Gwangmyeong Market.  This market has a bit of everything; butchers, fish sellers, fruit stalls, cheap clothing, etc.  Basically, it is a cross between a flea market, and farmers market.  They also sell traditional Korean food, which is what I wanted mom to try.  We had a seafood Korean pancake, which mom liked without the seafood inside of it.  We bought a few reasonably priced foods and went home.  It was a long and busy day but totally wonderful!  Here are some pictures from the market, and our lunch in Myeongdong (AMERICAN CHINESE WOOT WOOT!)







On Sunday, we went to Insadong and Namdaemun Gate.  Like Saturday, we walked a lot but it was so much fun.
