Namdaemun Market may be my new favorite place in Seoul. It is one of the oldest continually-running markets in Korea and the largest in Seoul. This market takes up about six city blocks and there is more crap than you have ever seen in your life. I always wondered what happened to all the clothes/bags/jewelry that were made and never purchased...now I know. That being said I found some incredible street food and stores - hidden to the untrained eye down 3 foot alleys between buildings. How the heck does someone make a livable income selling only gift bags or MC Hammer pants? God only knows.
She'll hem your new jeans while you wait.
Every few feet a store owner would empty a box of stuff into the middle of the street, screaming and clapping that for 10 minutes you could buy his wares at a steep discount (or at least I think that's what all the fuss was about...).
Troopers.
