Dongdaemun Market

So saturday I celebrated Lunar New Year by going to Dongdaemun with Jen! We started with a most excellent ride on our reliable 302 blue bus. Every day we ride to work on the 302 and Saturday we rode it...THE OTHER DIRECTION...It wasn't a perfectly smooth start. I, in my brilliance, left my SD card in the computer...so we had to go back and I had to grab it so my card would work. Then we go on the bus...AGAIN!!! Whoa! We live life on the edge! I sat next to the window and took pictures when we stopped. It was good fun. I finally got some good shots of Korean faces, it's hard to take pics of Koreans especially without seeming like a creeper.
There was some indecision about where to get off finally but once we did how lovely it was! Unfortunately Dongdaemun Market was closed, what with it being Lunar New Year and all, but that's okay. We saw some other markets and Jen got a great Konglish Shirt. We wandered a bit more and found ourselves a nice...GATE!!! An ancient fotress gate! The number 1 historical treasure! While exploring we found a painter and bought our names in all sorts of glorious decorations.

Here are some pictures:
