Hongdae Free Markets

John greeted me this morning with a borderline catatonic, definitely regretful, "You made the right decision, Shayne" in reference to my not going out last night. It wasn't until 3pm that we went for a walk up to the university to check out the market. 

A little indie live music was a nice touch to this creative faire. Most of the goods were hand made knickknacks, which had drawn a huge number of people to view them. 

Saturday afternoon in hongdae is incredibly busy. The only thing more impressive than the number of people walking these streets, are the ones trying to drive through them. One such small truck was even reversing down a busy street, borderline nudging people with the body of it. 

This made us laugh:

Dinner plans consist of meeting up with a couple friends from my university days in Daejeon. We're heading to one of the best restaurants in Gungnam, or so they say. To get there, it's a 14 stop train ride, and we're fairly sure the hour we left in advance will get us there on time at the very least. 

Note to self, top up metro card.
