GwangJang Market is a traditional market that sells fabrics, clothes (especially hanboks), household products, handicrafts, and obviously, food. And by food I don't only mean pre-cooked materials, it also includes cooked, delicious traditional Korean food. And there are lots of restaurants in this market that sells the delicious food, maybe even almost 100 stores!
Bindaetteok - a type of Korean pancake made of mung bean; and Makgeolli - Korean traditional alcohol made from rice (which I didn't like that much)
Mayak Kimbap - which were amazing, no wonder they called it a drug (literal meaning of mayak); Sundae (blood sausage made with pig blood and intestines) - no, not the dessert, but it was something that I really wanted to try but ended up really disliking it, it had a weird taste to it); Tteokbokki - just by seeing the redness of it, I couldn't gather the courage to try it. yeah, I'm horrible at eating spicy food.
So many banchans (side dishes)!!
After the market, we decided to go to the War Memorial of Korea since it was holding a One Piece Exhibition there. We almost got to see Sweet Sorrow (a Korean not idol band, aka legit singers LOL) but we ended up giving it a miss since it was really hot and we were really tired.
Each US state had a plate of names of the casualties from the Korean War.
One Piece!! I've actually never watched nor read it, but it was still really fun seeing all the figures and taking pictures with them. There was also a section where the hand drawn drafts were shown. That was really impressive but too bad we weren't allowed to take any pictures there.
The fan drawings were really impressive!!
