Myeongdong
krystina.milloy 1 contribution Ottawa, Canada Dec 9, 2012
Myeongdong offers the perfect opportunity to observe the live-action play of supply and demand. A sprawling mass of retail shops 5 square blocks wide and at least as many stories high, this is no ordinary shopping district.
The purely pedestrian streets are congested with traffic, with frequent red lights in the form of street vendors, food carts and fortune-tellers littered all over the streets. Offering far more interest and intrigue than their box-brand neighbors, street vendors are what lend Myeongdong its air of charm. Their treasures, chaotically displayed amidst the backdrop of the pedestrian parade, with its musical punctuation and excited chatter, seem infinitely more appealing than the carefully crafted window displays.This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.

You've gotta have Se-oul
South Korea is a bit of an odd choice when it comes to back-packing I have to admit. Most people I spoke to about it looked at me as if I didn't realise it wasn't in South-East Asia and that there's
a. No party scene/beach/islands this time of year.
b. No Internationally recognised raves.
c. A severe lack of sun.

Today's SeoulSploration Voyage
Today has been a quite eventful yet productive day. I'm not even sure where to begin. LOL My friend, De'ja, and I decided to head out to Namdaemun Market, then to Myeong-dong for more shopping. Originally, we planned to also go to the Korean War Museum. However, time would not allow us to make it.

Will they find food that's identifiable? Will they find their way back to …
