Today I wandered over to NamDaeMun (Southern Big Gate, shown above). The area is best known for NamDaeMun Market, which is several intertwined blocks of markets selling pretty much everything: vegetables, fruits, meats, fish, clothing, cameras, hats, formal wear, watches, ... It was fun just wandering around and looking at everything. The food page has several more pictures of the cool looking things in the market, but here's one example:
This is all sorts of types of kimchi. Most are some form of pickled spicy vegetable, but there was at least one that had these small crabs (the bodies are about the width of US quarters).
I also started researching online a little about k-pop (Korean Pop). One group that I found that I kind of like is "The Turtles" (not the "so happy together" group). It's a weird mix of pop, rap, and even some reggae, but all in Korean. You can find a couple of examples on YouTube: Cocktail Love, Bingo. So I picked up a couple of their CDs while wandering around this afternoon.
