Carson in Pyeongtaek

Pyeongtaek Market

We went to Seoul yesterday, but first we went to downtown Pyeongtaek.  That's where we caught the subway.  I think I enjoyed Pyeongtaek more than Seoul because there were less people.  In Pyeongtaek we walked around an outdoor market.  It was mostly food.  We saw little octopi swimming around in tanks, and the most disgusting thing that we saw were pig heads.  Just the full pig head.  They even had eyelashes.  One of the places had a few soaking in a big tub of water.  I'm not sure what you'd use a pig head for.  

After exploring downtown, we took the metro to Seoul.  The KTX or a bus would have been faster, but we weren't quite sure how to take one.  The subway ride was about an hour and forty-five minutes, and it got crowded!  But we finally made it.  First we walked up a really steep hill to a park.  It was surrounded by a fortress wall that was built in the 1300s.  Here's a video from the top of the hill.

Then we went to an outdoor market.  It was gigantic!  It was just a huge labyrinth of knock of gucci and chanel stuff.  There was also food and tee shirts and other little trinkets.  I've never seen anything like this.  There were little tents set up everywhere.  It was packed too.  Not only were there tents, but there were little alley ways and you could go inside buildings and in the basement too.  We definitely got lost in there.
