	Korean blog- My life in Seoul
		Anyway, here are some of the ones that turned out OK They say that Namdaemun market sells 'everything' which is obviously not true- you couldn't buy, say, a genuine designer handbag, or a t-shirt saying "Dokdo is Japanese!" but there is a lot of stuff.
		Namdaemun was pretty good (photos later when they come back from the developers), and we visited my new mate Mr Oh who owns a shop in an underground shopping centre.
		After walking from Namdaemun to Anguk station, me and Doc met up with the rest of the gang for Heidi's birthday meal (at a great Indian restaurant, but I don't really have space to get into that as well), it was at the restaurant when I discovered that the belt I'd just bought in Namdaemun...

		I didn¡¯t really have a chance to speak to him but I was impressed that he is still actively working in areas that concerned him during his career and that he has long been a supporter of promoting human rights in China and elsewhere in the world.
		The Bureau of Audit and Inspection which held the debate on whether or not to give the number one position to Hangul also noted that they would soon scrap the number system "saying it was a misunderstanding to assume the designation implied a kind of grade".
		It appears that "large old gate" otherwise known as Namdaemun may be pushed out in favour of "proper pronunciation of words" otherwise known as Hangul.

		It is difficult to convey the scale of Namdaemun, but it is a plethora of markets selling various goods all bound together by carts selling food.
		There are areas for housewares, electronics, ginseng, clothes, bedding, etc – if you can’t find it at Namdaemun it is either illegal or no longer exists.
		Everywhere in Korea people seem to value looking sharp, even if they might not have a lot of money people tend to be quite dapper.

		I was hoping she would be there the next morning as well.
		Historically, Namdaemun was once the Great South Gate in a wall that surrounded Seoul.
		Now all that remains of that wall is the gate structure itself, a little 600 year old temple-like structure that sits in the middle of traffic and skyscrapers...

	Heart and Seoul
		Most of the wall has gone now, but the gates remain, and this is the finest of them.
		Although much lower than the skyscrapers which surround it, Namdaemun is every bit as spectacular, its ancient hulk sitting proudly in the city it helped to defend over the centuries.
		For a city so committed to its own continuance and development – and considering the dangers lurking just a few miles to the north – Seoul is not at all a defensive place.
