Dongdaemun - East Gate

This is Dongdaemun, the east gate, one of the few surviving gates from the Joseon period. Dongdaemun is also a huge shopping area, with a toy and stationery area, a shoe area, and several large stores. We didn't find the food market, but that's on our list, because apparently you can find just about anything you ever imagined as being edible there.
