A Whole New Meaning to Variety

This weekend I went to Dongdaemun market which is right outside the East Gate of Seoul.




From what I had read of the market, it was supposedly bigger than what I saw, so we may have only hit the outskirts of it. Being a tourist is very much a trial-and-error experience. We followed these people with the giant garbage bags full of stuff, assuming they had gathered items from the market.



We came across all sorts of things: clothes, electronics, shoes, artwork, basically anything under the sun.






A lot of it consisted of piles of junk on a blanket or towel that were up for sale: old cell phones, cameras, key boards, nintendo remotes, etc.



The market even had a "pet" strip. I seriously considered buying one of these little bunnies...

  1. Why am I not surprised? You ALWAYS have to comment on the cute little animals. Good thing there was not a baby market, or you could have ended up with one of them.
