April 2ndNamdaemun Market.The market was within walking distance of the hotel. You could find almost everything here. Hats, fabric, food, belts, clothing, paper goods hair accessories and the list goes on. There were lots of small sit down restaurants too.Next to the market is Sungnyemun Gate which is the Number One Tourist Attraction.It really is very impressive and now sits in the middle of a very large round about.We then walked to Cheonggye Plaza and on to Gwanghwamum Square.In the square there was a film crew with all of these teenage school kids dressed in uniform and
recording a music video. This was fantastic. Very K-POP.This plaza and square leads you to Gyeongbokgung Palace. In the back ground behind the Palace are some very rocky stone mountains.We watched the changing of the guards. This was free of charge. The flags are huge and very impressive. This real was fantastic.We then headed back towards the Cheonggyecheon Stream. This area is really very pretty. It is all concrete and very grey but there are so many different art works on the walls either side of the Stream. There are also lots of locals just sitting and walking about.We then made our way to a CAT CAFE.What is a Cat Cafe you might ask. Well,
in the Cat Cafe you pay an entrance fee which includes a drink and there are cats that walk around and you can play with the cats. It wasn't cheap but it was a bit of fun. Most of the cats where very friendly but some where very happy to stay up high and well away from the customers.After we left the Cat Cafe we saw another odd cafe? DOG CAFE. We decided one animal cafe a day was more than enough.On to Myeong-dong Shopping Street.The sun had gone down by now. This area is very pretty at night with all of the lights and the hassle and bustle of the city.We all tried the
very thin pancakes with Nutella and banana. Very yum.
