My walking tour for the day was only getting started in Myeong-dong. My next stop was neighbouring Namdaemun Market, which is Korea's oldest open-air market. Having existed on its present site for over 600 years, the market sells everything from clothes to handicrafts and clothing.

Nandaemun is one of the few places in Seoul that I actually hate going to: too confusing, too crowded, too messy, and too many questionable stores/restaurants selling questionable products.
