Jegidong Market

on my way to the national health insurance company in Seoul. Got off the bus number 1222 right in front of the market where the smell, sight, and sound of  the market's morning hour greeted me.

oh...the market is well-known for 한약 or Oriental medicine.

I bumped into these in market this morning.

what a great way to explore the city.

Jegidong: A different facade of Seoul

Jegidong area. This afternoon (March 19), I was walking down the intersection where a lot of sellers (of fruits, fish, snacks, hangwa (Korean snacks), ginseng, etc) were all there for us to see.

 Just took the picture while waiting for the green light for pedestrian to cross the intersection.

It is indeed a differently lively intersection. The fun part was that I--almost-could not find any teenagers or those shopping-spree-hooked ladies or girls on high heels. Well...it is NOT Myeongdong^^ 

The fun part was that...the sound and smell and scent and scene and sight and....

were all there. 

A truly exciting part of Seoul for anyone who wants to linger and try to taste something unique.

In fact, the Seoul City Tour Bus has recently incorporated this intersection into one of its routes.

I could not agree more since this kind of place also has its own unique features.

It is about time that visitors to Seoul not only set their eyes on Myeongdong-like places. ^^

Eyra and Freya's Biscuit Making Experience

Under the invitation of Dongdaemun Board of Education, all of the foreign children of multicultural families had a chance to experience a cookie-making class at Jegidong Vocational College. While their Moms were busy preparing for the kimchi, the kids were busy having the best cooking class, yet.

With eyes full of curiosity, kids were having a close-look into how cookies were made right in front of their eyes. Since it was at a cooking college, the cooking utensils were of good standard.

Freya....they were just having their own self-made cookies. 

Eyra, too, was having a good time there. I suppose.

As for me,,,,I was in Andong...^^ 

 Let me put it this way, lots of things to do for each member of our family during this weekend (Oct. 27, 2012)
