As the title suggests, we are going to a market today. But first more things to send home. Suit and shirt I no longer need. Some of Mary Ann’s similar clothes and gifts from the National Library. It’s a good size box so we have the hotel call us a taxi. There was a Post Office down the street but he took us to a different one. Now we need a Korean address and phone number to send something. Luckily the man whose apartment we stayed in earlier allowed us to use his. Don’t tell anybody. And of course like all taxi drivers we encountered, the lady at the PO could not find the address. But it did get shipped.
So we walk outside looking for the Metro. It is a little bit of a walk but every walk in Seoul discovers more interesting things. Like traffic circles.
So we finally find a Metro entrance but first some late morning breakfast. Forgot to take pictures. Maybe tomorrow. But Korea treats wafflles as pastry. And they are good. We split one, have coffee and listen to some smooth jazz music playing in background.
While waiting for our train, we are reminded of the subways back home with the cleaners in them.
On the train towards the Gwangjang Market.
This is the same market we went to the end of March and shown on this blog. We buy presents for home as well as tips for my walking stick ( I refuse to call it a cane). And time for lunch. Into a restaurant that serves bibbimpop. I just wanted a beer. So it comes but with the beef for it raw, uncooked. Seems we have wandered into a raw food restaurant. So Mary Ann tries it.
