Seomun Market

Located in Daeugu, Seomun (West Gate) Market is a traditional Korean outdoor market.  It was one of the three major markets dating back to the Joseon period (1800s).  It has everything from spices, socks, kitchen wares, fish, and fabric.  We wandered through the outdoor sections, as well as the 5 stories of fabric. We shopped in the late afternoon, so the market was pretty quiet.  I am sure in the morning (and summer) it is teeming with activity.

Spices anyone?

Lots of fish.
