  • Nightlife Spot: Itaewon, Namdaemun and other night markets

    Other than getting yourself pissed drunk in a Korean pub or finding your way up Namsan tower at night, you could experience the night markets in Seoul.
    Like the pasar-malams (night markets) of Singapore, these markets offer you a snapshot of local culture and give you plenty of opportunties to buy cheap things you won't normally find at the airport. Yes, prices are insane there. I was quite glad to stock up on my Korean candy in Seoul before I left for Incheon. My bag of pumpkin taffy cost about 5000won in Itaewon . I found the same bag later in Incheon and it costs 10000won there.
    Apart from cheap prices, there are plenty of things to see and do. I'll comment about the night markets in Itaewon and Namdaemun as they're pretty contrasting.

     Your SEOUl page is a 6 star. That guy at make-shift stall in Namdaemum deserves to be punched & you gave him a knock-out blow on tis site. Hopefully, it will be the begining of his end.. Very helpful guide in my coming trip in Oct. TQ
