Tuesday vegetable market

Today happen to goto Korean vegetable market. From a new nice,sweet Indian friend I met here, learnt these markets are open on tuesdays and fridays in a specific location. It was fun to shop there. Got a lot of fresh vegetables. Buying in this market and buying in supermarket has huge price difference as well! It is very similar to the our vegetable markets in India, we even got interesting deals, you take two pack it is 4k wons take 3 for 5k wons :).  People are very friendly. When we came back to our room, came to know the caretaker/owner of room gets vegetables for us and we would have to pick what we want and pay her :). Yet another learning. It was a pretty long walk. Then went to a supermarket called kims club. The price of same products in the bigger supermarket again it is cheaper here. Then had been to a dollar shop, where everything is 1000won, there are things which are more than 1000 wons. It is like our china bazar something. As my trip is only for a month, anything I want to use and throw for which I don't want to invest a lot, this place was interesting.
