Beware of eating in a make-shift stall in those night markets. These fly-by-night vendors have no priced menus and they'll do all they can to fleece you. I learnt it the really hard way when my hubby and I were charged 75, 000W for 2 prawns, a stick of gingko nuts, 2 plates of noodles, some pig intestines, a small plate of unagi and grilled chicken. After our jaws hit the ground with a dull thud, I flipped thru my phrase book angrily, determined to get a fair bargain. All I could say was " Pee-San! Pee-San!" (expensive ). Well, to no avail, I could be saying pee in English for all she cared. She exploded into a burst of loud words and it sounded hotter than Kim-Chee. Cowed by the 4m tall lady ,the waving ladle and hot wok, my hubby and I puffed up our chests, paid and vowed never to return.....I was only glad I took her picture before I left. Here it is, for all the world to see and be warned.

You're walking down the streets of Seoul and like any law-abiding tourist, you stick the pavement and avoid jaywalking. You're safe right? No way, watch out for those runaway motorists who for some reason or another, prefer to mow down pedestrains with their 400cc motorbikes and scooters.

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 | Fra.da. Fri Jul 6, 2007 08:56 UTC
