This place is crazy fun, hubby and I went to Dongdaemun last night for a little night shopping. You cannot believe the insanity. There are people everywhere, and get this, the malls are open till 4AM! Now, these are not your typical malls, one mall we went into was 10 stories high, with 2 basement levels. Also, the mall itself is a bit different, there are no doors taking you into stores, they are all out in the open, some separated by glass walls, or partitions of some sort. Not all malls are like this, but this is what I found to be true of the ones in Dongdaemun. There are also tons of street vendors all over the place, and people dancing and singing in front of the malls. An interesting thing I have found here is that Koreans love to wear shirts with English on them, now it may not be proper English, and sometimes the shirt actually insults the person wearing it, and most of the time they do not get our sayings quiet right. Like these two, the SOCK YOUR KNOCKS OFF is my favorite, I have no idea what the Nutrigrain bar has to do with it.

How fun! 4:00 am?? What were they dancing about? Was it a celebration or just a normal night? I haven't been shopping in MONTHS! Sounds like a great time.
