Namoon Market

Couple of days ago all the wives here planned and went to Namoon market a place near subway railway station. We travelled by local bus. The bus stop has a display stating in how many minutes the bus (along with route number) would reach the particular stop, it is all calculated and pretty accurate and very impressive. Also once the bus leaves the previous stop, the particular number blinks in the board so that we can be ready! One more thing in bus is anywhere to anywhere to 1000 wons. there would be a drop box, which checks when we drop amount and gives a voice based response and change if any would be issued in another box by the driver, there is no conductor. The  bus passes are smart card and while getting in they show the bag/purse/valet near the machine and it beeps. There is a button near every seat "stop button" if you are getting down you would have to push it. 

Now let me write about the namoon market, it is a small place like one street like avenue road/chikpet. The place has lot of non veggie stuff sold, so whole area has smell. Me being vegetarian it was intolerable after a while. Otherwise the market was interesting. People who came with me bought handbags. Seem to get good deals on handbags here. Otherwise it was general window shopping. Again another dollar shop. 

By the time we finished all this it was very cold and we were all hungry. Went to a bakery called Paris banquet. Very tasty buns. Had buns and headed back home in bus.
