I just came back from a maiden 6D5N budget Seoul trip.
It has been an eye-opener and awesome experience.
As shared in earlier blog post, this was a last minute impromptu trip booked merely 3 weeks in advance with minimal planning.
Here is an overview of the itinerary.
Day 1: Dongdaemun (hotel neighbourhood) - Dongmyo flea market, Dongdaemun Gate, Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Cheonggyecheon.
Dongmyo flea market where locals rummage through piles of old branded clothes i.e. Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger for 1k to 3k Korean won each only.
