Seomun Market — bustling, hulking, multi-story complex said to have more than 4,000 shops with everything one’s little heart could desire.
We rambled down Sock Alley and bought — socks. We bumped our way down Sewing Alley and bought — nah, nothing.
It’s a busy place and yet it’s calm, orderly and quite clean clean. Plus the sights and sounds are mostly wonderful and the aromas, for the most part, agreeable. The basins of squirming eels and soft-shelled turtles, as well as the pails of blood were a bit worrisome but the little ladies were careful to hose down the walkways afterwards.
Oh, and the cages of dogs. Say no more.
And, if you can get your head around this, Seomun Market has been around since 1669. Astonishing.
Home again, home again,
Jiggity jig!

Love the markets. Always have loved the markets. Maybe especially the baskets full of grain. Heaven.
I am feeling the urge to travel come upon me:)
