Taking a walk around Dongdaemun, mostly modern shopping buildings Took a very nice walk at this canal

More of Myeongdong, very interesting places but it seems that shops are selling repeated items as if they are selling the same thing Then there is a stretch of street food, again many stalls selling the same thing

Was told Myeongdong is a shopping paradise so went to take a walk there Saw a noodle shop so went in Full house and crowded have to wait for a table Although its full house orders come very quickly like in less than 5mins Lunch Meat and vegetable dumplings Noodle soup Soft and delicious Cold green noodle ion thick sauce Flavourful and fragrant This is one of the best noodle I have eaten.
