The city doesn't sleep

Dongdaemoon market
Clothes have bus stops too!
I went to Dongdaemoon market with my mom last friday. She wanted to buy some new clothes for her shop, and I decided to go with her because it's such a fresh experience compared to what we're used to seeing. Half of the shops in Dongdaemoon sell at wholesale prices, and it gets mega hectic from midnight! Shop owners start shopping with huge luggage bags since they buy in bulk, and shops send out clothes to other areas within Korea. 
All those bags you see in the pic are the clothes that are going to be sent out. The queue of bags grow longer as dawn approaches. I wish one of the buses could stop at my house! 
It was my third visit to the early morning market. I left at around 1am, but apparently the market is busiest at around 2~3am. Crazy!
