Monday 9 July 2007 - Seoul

After a great buffet breakfast at the hotel, we went out to explore. Walked down the hill and found a street full of motorbikes followed by a street full of bubblewrap and other packaging materials, and so it went on...one street after another full of different products. Got lost in the fabrics area followed by the buttons district and the laces district. Then we found Dongdaemun Market and wandered through its maze of stores. Akko got a bit pissed off at this stage! We then found Doota, a big department store - but it was Monday, a "Regular Closed Day"!! Got lost in the wholesale area and kept getting nearly run over by scooters and motorbikes loaded to the extreme. Crossed the road and found the shoe street. Akko did a big dummy spit at this and told me he would meet me at the end of the street. After finally purchasing a pair of socks we caught a cab back to the hotel.
