181106 Namdaemun, Goto Mall

-
Namdaemun - To reach here
Take a subway to Hoehyeon Station. There will be signage in English telling you where to exit from station.
Before you exit the underground station, you will see a lot of stalls located at the sub-way stations. Actually in Seoul, you will find that most of the sub-way stations comes with a shopping mall underground. We visited in the morning and it was bustling with stores selling clothing, accessories, hats and food. For me, so long as prices not displayed, they are not selling cheap stuff. See and don't touch.

Goto Mall - Located at Seoul Express Terminal.
You can reach here by taking a sub way to Seoul Express Terminal.

A shopping heaven for ladies. You will never see the end of the shopping street. So long and 2 parallel street with both stalls from both side. Meaning 4 rows of stalls running parallel. Prices from 10,000 won. Sometimes we see tops at 5000won. Pretty and cheap apparel you can find here. We shop until our hands were full and need to leave before we add on ha ha ha.
Above are some that we bought. So heavy.

Jungbu Dried seafood market - A short walk for Eujiro 4 (Sa)gna subway station. I love to see the dried seafood here. Unfortunately I cannot bring any of the dried seafood back home. The reason for me to visit this place this morning is to get my Korean Ginseng powder here.  I came 2 days ago but was told there were no more red ginseng powder. After using hands gesture and mobile phone calendar, we managed to communicate that the stock will arrive few days later and I will be able to have it if I come today morning. On my previous trip to Seoul 3 yrs ago, we stayed at Morning Sky Hotel and this market is just behind the hotel. We bought the Ginseng sweets and powder from this shop and is nice. So, I am back here, glad the shop is still around. Bought 2 bottles of  Red Ginseng Powder at 90,000won. We spotted this shop near The Standard Hotel, the hotel that I am supposed to move to for stay from 7 Nov tot 12 Nov. As we can only check in at 3pm and we arrived at aro...

Apsan Park, located in Daegu. We took a KTX train (40K+ won per ticket) to Dong Daegu, took a taxi  paid 10200won to get here) Paid another 9500 won ropeway fees to reach to mountain for this view. When the ropeway reach its station on mountain top, we mistaken Sopra Observatory as Apsan Observatory. After that we realised we need do climb a little to reach the other side for Apsan Observatory. Both observatory were nice to view the landscape. This eatery is located a Sopra Observatory. Dine with good view and food is great. Actually there are 3 mountains here. So watch where you are going. After Apsan Park, we managed to take a taxi to Jungangno Subway station in Daegu for shopping and Topokki. We ate at this shop when we find them not too crowded. The service is really slow and lucky, the food and topokki was good. Very spicy but you would never want to stop. Daegu shopping town is really very crowded. More crowded than in Seoul. Decided to proce...

The rounded big ones with red bean paste and the small ones with syrup. We have some at her home and it tasted like Ondeh Ondeh exclude coconut. Clockwise - Seaweed, green onions, dried ginseng with other traditional roots, perilla leaves. Anne shared with us that in Korean culture, you do not eat seaweed if you are sitting for a examination.

After the tour, Anne drove us to her mum's home for cooking lessons. Understand she chose t...
