Today was a no plan day. So we decided to go back to Dongdaemun, but bring everyone this time. Jaemin had already bought us a meal with Mrs. Kim's money as she asked and we also wanted him to pick some items out to buy and bring back home with his money. He still has enough left for one more Korean meal for the family tonight. The streets in Dongdaemun are packed with people even on a week day. I really wanted to get some shoes, but getting the attention of the store owners when they're on the phone is impossible. We just walked around and found some gifts for some of the Godparents and Jaemin found what he wanted. Of course, he immediately saw a whole set of the older Ninja Turtles and HAD to have them. Then, he saw a KTX train and he loves trains, so he bought that too. We got him a Pororo water holder, Hangul numbers puzzle, fan, and a couple of other small items. We found some cute clothes for the girls too. I wish I could take a picture of the subway during rush hour. It's amazing how many people funnel into these tunnels. You have to be assertive in Seoul. You must push your way and get through or you will go nowhere. We're getting used to that.
Nice laid back day though.
In the mornings, the ladies at the restaurant behind us prepare for the meals of the day. Much of Seoul is this way in the morning.
