FIRST MEETING.

*-_-*

In Seoul

NOVEMBER 17th

I went to In Sa Dong which is one of the famouse place in korea.

Insadong is a dong, or neighborhood of the Jongno-gu district of the South Korean city of Seoul.

The main street is Insadong-gil, which is connected to a multitude of alleys that lead deeper into the district.

 At one time it was the largest market for antiques and artworks in Korea.



This is the first place that I went.

named SSAMZIEGI (쌈지길)

Is a market

▼ ▼

Insadong was originally two towns whose names ended in the syllables "In" and "Sa".

They were divided by a stream which ran along Insadong's current main street.

 Insadong began 500 years ago as an area of residence for government officials.

 During the early period of the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897), the place belonged to Gwanin-bang and Gyeonpyeong-bang - bang was the name of an administrative unit during the time - of Hanseong .

During the Japanese occupation, the wealthy Korean residents were forced to move and sell their belongings, at which point the site became an area of trading in antiques.

 After the end of the Korean war, the area became a focus of South Korea's artistic and cafe life.

It was a popular destination among foreign visitors to South Korea during the 1960s,

who called the area "Mary's Alley".

It gained in popularity with international tourists during the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

 In 2000 the area was renovated, and, after protest, the rapid modernization of the area was halted for two years beginning that year.
