So just another quick though before it escapes. I've noticed that merchants and markets in Korea have a very different style of selling stuff than they do in America. It looks like in Korea the markets are run by single people. I've never had any scanned by a Korean. Everything is just handed and they tell you the price. Most of the shops we've visited were run by one person. They rarely leave, but when they do they just lock up the shop and walk out. The scale of vending here is much more personal. However the scale of the markets is giant. I walked around Dongdemoon for 2 hours and didn't see half of the market. There were at least 3 other markets that were just a bit smaller as well.
The next in this series of small observations will be the relationship between cars streets and people in Korea.
