Korea - a jam-packed day !

What an adventurous, visual and delicious day!   It all started with a trip to the
'weekend' market.   This was a .. farmer's market, flea market, and garage sale ..
all rolled into one!    Stalls and blankets and tables of goods were everywhere!
Probably 400-500 vendors selling anything and everything.   Antiques Roadshow
would have had a field day with a lot of these ancient Asian treasures.
Here's Jon and Salli  before heading downhill.

Here's some pic's of part of .. "Hwanghak" market :

Then we headed over to a very popular tourist attraction .. the "Gwangjang" food

market .. yummy .. must've been over 200 food vendors :   we stopped at several and tried
different tasty morsels, and watched some school girls giggling and trying to eat a bowl
of octopus - all cut up and still squiggling around !

Then we took a taxi to the new arena and looked around inside.   They were getting ready
for a wheelchair basketball game.    The real reason was because it was close to a very
famous Seoul bakery ("Taegeuk Dang") and Jon and Salli loved their ice cream sandwiches.

Then it was time to get home for a rest and nap before Salli's GrandMa's birthday
celebration and for me to meet the whole family.    We drove to the restaurant and they
had a separate room for all of us.

Salli's mom and dad, her sister, her GrandMa and GrandPa, three uncles and three aunts.
What a fun meal.   Then cake and presents afterwards.    Salli's Dad made a cute video
of this dinner .. see and  [click (twice) on the arrow.. and make it 'full' screen]  below :

We all then went to her GrandMa's and GrandPa's apartment for more visiting.    

What a fun day!
