Yong San Electronics Market

No visit to Seoul would be complete without a trip to the Yong San Electronics Market. So, we went there, and auspiciously ran into Matt's bosses (husband and wife team). It was fun to see them.

The Yong San Electronics Market is (coincidentally? I think not) located at Yong San Station (pictured below). The electronics buildings are on the far side of the station, but Matt recently found a bus route that goes right from our house to the market. We live in the best location in Seoul.
We ate at one of my favourite restaurants ever (you know, the sollong tang place that I take everybody to).
The electronics market itself comprises several buildings, so we only hit a few of the hot spots that Matt and I like to go to (a.k.a places that sell video games). Here's a picture of one of the walk-ways that goes between the buildings of the market.
Although on a different day, we later ate dinner at one of the food courts in the basement of one of the electronics buildings. This food court is amazing, there are about fifteen different restaurants who all basically serve the same gigantic menu. If it's Korean food, you can find it here. Mom was a little skeptical of the place at first, but once she bit into her sea food pancake, she was convinced as to the merit of the place.
The food was delicious. I had kimbap ramen, Matt had donkatsu, Andrew ate bibimbap, Dad Witt ate kalbi tang, and Mom had the seafood pancake, as previously mentioned. The hole-in-the-wall places are always the best.

That picture of Andrew is just funny.

You actually did lean over and say that. ~lol~
