Here we are in downtown Seoul. If you look in the background you will see namdaemoon (남대문) . You might have to enlarge the picture to see it. Namdaemoon is one of the four old gates of Seoul. Around this area is a very famous market, I think it is actually the biggest market in Korea. Well anyways here are a few pictures of both the gate and the market.

The markets in Korea are something worth seeing. You can have twenty stores in a row selling the exact same things but they all seem to have some business going on. From ginko to gi boots it all can be found. Sometimes the smells can be a little brutal and it is best to wear shoes after a rain. After sightseeing here we all decided it would be a good idea to take a walk to namsan tower and see what the city looks like at night. Believe it or not I actually took this picture. Well when we finally got to the tower there was a sign saying the observation deck was closed, found out one could see the city so we went on up. Looked around and found a restaurant with a wonderful view. This picture is not the best but will have to do for the time being. But you can get a good idea of what we saw. Even though this view was from a restaurant with 'korean pizzas' it was still worth while.
