Happy Easter!
Last weekend I went to Kwangjang Market in Seoul with Jeong hee and Manda. It's a smaller market, all covered which was great since it had been raining on the day we went. It sold mostly food, fabric and traditional Korean clothing and wedding gifts. Most of the food looked really good and some was interesting. I'm always trying to stay open minded about new foods, but it's more difficult with some things... However, we did try a mung bean pancake that was delicious. Jeong hee had done some research on the net and found out a place that was famous for making them was in the market, so we ate there. Afterward we went for a walk along the river and then stopped in Insadong to have dessert. I have to find out what they're called in Korean, it's deep fried dough about the size of a small pancake filled with a sugar and honey mixture, not that healthy but one of my favourite things here. Anytime I see them I have to have one!
Here are some pics, it can get complicated to add too many here, so I'll put the rest on Ringo. Enjoy!

Hi, Carrie! The traditional clothing is very bright in color, isn't it? The wedding gifts displayed, are they speciality foods or treats? The pancakes are huge. I'm glad that Jeong Hee is so close and can show you around. That's so good as you'll likely see and do things that only a local would know about. Hope your cold is better. Happy days. LOL MOM
