Garat Market

Seoul - For dinner, our business partners Mr Lee and Lim brought us to Garak Fish Market or Garak-dong Agricultural Market is an extensive  fish market in the neighborhood of Garak-dong in Songpa-gu, Seoul, South Korea.

We had to walk through the market and at so late in the night, there is still a large number of people selling fresh seafood.  We walk and walk and pass the fishmongers and came to an area designated for dining.   It had big plastic sheet insulator to prevent cold winter wind from entering the dinning area.  The food is so fresh and good. 

There is still buzz late at night

My 72nd trip to Seoul

Seoul - Arrived at around 3:15pm and by the time I reach my Hotel room it was around 5pm.  YJ will come to the Courtyard Seoul Times Square at around 6pm.   The weather is cold around 3 degrees celcius.  My children found the wonder of video chatting and it's FREE.   At a fixed time, we 'fired' up our Gmail and it was such an experience for them to see me via Video.

Had to say good bye as I have a dinner to catch with Kevin @ Jiho Korean Family restaurant.
