Book Market - Seoul

Across the street from the craft and textile markets, is a book market. To me this is a great demonstration of how the market stores display their products. Big piles. Everywhere. Every inch must be used.

Hmmmmnnnn.... I want that book..... the one on the very bottom of that
ten foot pile. My theory is that you have to prove that you have mastered the game of "jenga" before you can shop here.

Tapgol Park

This park is across the street from the hotel where we snag free parking spots at, on the days we visit Seoul. As we drove past on our last visit, I noticed a pagoda that I had seen pictured on tourist sites. As it was en route to the subway station, we spent some time there, looking at the statues, and other historical monuments on display.

This park is where the Declaration of Independence was read. The name -Tapgol - means Pagoda Park. Its a fitting name, since one of the oldest pagodas in Korea is here.
Ten story Pagoda from 1467, which is made of marble. It is on display behind a glass enclosure (below).

Express snacks

We often see these guys on the freeway, but never have our camera out in time.
