SEOUL Random 07: Ssamziegel, Insa-dong 人人廣場,仁寺洞

similar to PMQ, Hong Kong or

Red House Mall, Ximending, Taipei

 

definitely my favourite spot for

souvenir shopping

over Lotte Department Store /

Lotte Mart / Nan Dae Mun

not to said those places are bad

but this is my kind of place to

shop for souvenirs

 

and Insa-dong is

filled with stalls selling

those mass-produced

magnet, keychain, etc

you know who they are

 

if you are looking for

something unique for

a special someone

this is definitely worth

dropping by

found ya

a good new year gift

P1310732

 

by the way

bought these for my Pa

along the souvenir street in Insa-dong

P1320064

 

10,000 Won each

my sis was complaining how

expensive and not worth it

 

i know these are relatively

expensive compared

as compared to the

a-dozen-for 10k-item

 

well… beauty lies in

the eyes of the beholder

and these are of

really auspicious meaning

 

and i am darn pretty sure

these are not

Made-in-YiWu (China) but

something local and

probably handcrafted too

 

if years of experience

have not at least

taught me to tell

Chinese and Korean crafts apart

i should have right away

bang my head on the wall

 

now..

where’s the wall?
