The exotic smells of leather, kimchi, and .... — 2 years ago
Not worth it!
Went here several times when I was in the Navy. Ugly place. Granted, I didn’t see much of it. But what I did see was a big, ugly, smelly, dirty, industrial city.
The international market had a lot of cheap leather for sale, so a lot of the shipmates would load up on it while there. They’d also load up on kimchi, the pickled vegetables that are ubiquitous in Korea. For days after we left, the ship would smell like leather, kimchi …. and what kimchi smells like after your body is finished with it. Ewwww. Sorry to be gross, but it’s rather a vivid (and unpleasant) memory
