Stepping out of the hot, stuffy indoors and into the open air—whoa!! 😱 Is this Da Nang? Or Dongmyo Market? Or Gwangjang Market? Only the language was different... places where people live all seem to share a similar feeling and atmosphere. If only I hadn't been so full already, I would have grabbed a seat and tried the food, and that left me with a lot of regret. Of course, the hygiene didn't look all that great, though! Even so, the Vietnamese dishes I was seeing for the first time looked so delicious, and the locals were eating them with such relish that I grew curious. Next time, I'll definitely squeeze in and grab a seat!! Amid all that, the place that caught my eye the most was a dried seafood shop. I was looking around thinking I might buy some squid jerky, but the size was so huge I wasn't sure if this was even squid jerky. I couldn't even tell if it was squid or not, and the price was so expensive... I feel like it'd be more comfortable to just buy it online at home, or if I go to the seaside on a domestic trip, buy it in person there — so I came away empty-handed 😅 In the middle of the market there's a line of secondhand clothes spread out all over the ground, and everyone, without exception, is having a great time picking through them. Squeezing in among the locals, my friend managed to grab a spot too, but said there was nothing decent, so lol off to the next shop~ Sure enough, saying there was nothing worth getting there either, off to yet another shop~ All the clothes were 20,000 dong — just 1,000 won!! She said she'd heard that if you pick carefully you can score a real bargain, so she gave it a try, but in the end nothing was the right size or to her liking, so it ended with "I'll just buy clothes back in Korea"~ The trip to the traditional market was such a fun new experience~ I'll leave a little regret and go back one more time next time, and now I'm off running toward the next schedule ^^
