The rest of our group left Gwangju today for Busan; Kat, Holly and I took the train to Seoul. Sundays in this city are clearly the day families are out in full force. In a city of 17 million, it means killer traffic jams, the subways are packed, and stores have that Black Friday feel. We went to Kyobo bookstore first (always awesome), then back to the artist district, Insadong. On my first trip to Korea in 2000, Insadong was almost exclusively traditional wares -- art, clothing, artist supplies. Now, sadly, there is more and more western influence, as evidenced in this photo that may become my favorite of all time.
