Touring the City

Fruit for sale in Seomun Market, Daegu

Fruit for sale in Seomun Market, Daegu

From Busan we traveled to Daegu.  From there it was easy to get to Haeinsa Temple by bus.  Daegu also had a huge market - Seomun – which seems to sell a ton of different food, mostly.  It was great for people watching and strolling.

There’s also a great downtown area which was really alive at night.  We found an awesome restaurant where they specialize in mushrooms and could easily set me up with something vegetarian and tasty for dinner.  We had a lot of fun (window)shopping and people watching.  There’s a pedestrian area and lots of people out shopping and hanging out with friends.  Lots of street stalls selling fresh fruit juice mixed with ground ice – like a real slushie.  Yum!  Also, Koreans don’t wear boring white socks.  Like everything else, socks are cute and available in a million different styles.  Very fun!
