A Trip Around The Globe – 2007

Myung Dong and me

Myung Dong Myung Dong is a network of streets that form a large outdoor market/mall… normal (indoor) shops with street vendors outside, selling mostly clothes, food, and other normal wares.  And also squid and some kind of sea insect that I have yet to try.
