Street Performers

The whole time I was in Korea, I only noticed one street performer, or busker. This was that performer. She (now that I look at the photo, I am not sure, but at the time I thought "she") was one of those stone statues, but with a difference. Well maybe not that different, the trick was, you put money in and they move. They probably always do move, but I thought the idea was to stand still. Maybe she was a stone robot.





She had no money in her box. I should have told her about the trick of putting a little money in, so that people get the idea that they want money.... Though I only thought of it now,as I type this blog entry.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, I did put some money in :)

Myeongdong (명동 明洞)

Myeondong 명동, which in Korean means "Men should hide their money" is the shopping mecca of Seoul's trendy, cashed up, women (or women who have someone with them, who has forgotten to leave their wallet at home). Though it seems most women just window shop. (I know why they window shop for so long, there were no shops selling windows, anywhere to be found)

This is the place to go to people watch, or to buy your name brand needs. As this was a trendy place to be, I did not see many people in couple clothes..

Now that I look at the photos, it is probably 75-80% women, on just random photos.

When I was there, it looked like a big storm was coming.















This was actually just up the road from Myeongdong








Oh, and I mentioned the dog seller before, he was back.
