Korea free and easy : Seoul Ewha women's university

Hoddeok (Korean pancake with sweet cinnamon) has a toasted version, instead of the fried version here.

The grilled chicken stewer is heavenly, can be found at myeongdon too.

I like the cup of snack, with fried chicken, fried potato and rice cakes. Not sure what is it called but is good.

This is close to the ewha women's university so there are lot of shops, cafes and stalls catering to the students studying nearby.

Lot of interesting snacks and cafes. and shops for clothing, shoes and accessories.

The shopping is as good as dongdaemun, because there is a large variety and the price does not differ by a lot. Dongdaemun is usually cheaper if you buy in bulk. and this place caters to students so price is quite reasonable.


5 mins walk from exits # 2 & 3 of Ewha Womans University Station (Subway Line 2)

Korea free and easy: SEoul Kwang Jang MArket

TRaditional market : Kwang JAng MArket.

Just choose a stall, sit down and start ordering by pointing as a lot of stall sell more than one type of food.

I enjoyed gimbop(seaweed roll) and the mochi.

They sell sashimi too and they have a few sauces, unlike japanese which is just wasabi and soya sauce.
