Sewon, where the first church was located, was very different from Seoul, but also very different from the country town we stayed at later on. It was very much like the Philippines in that there were structure buildings and mostly older, poorer buildings. The city was an array of color and markets. Every street was line with women selling their food and supplies. Each street concentrated on one item. There was a street for spices, one for furniture, another for seafood, etc. Some of the strange things I saw for sale were pig heads, live turtles for food, tanks with octopus and squid swimming around, and barrels of dried fish (bones and all) from 1 inch long to a foot long.

The top picture is of a women selling her spices. To the right is a typical street with it's open market. On the left is a the exit from the subway coming from Seoul. Down below is a picture of a buffet. (The fish intestines I ate are on the left side of the table, sixth bowl up, the pile of what looks like orange spaghetti).
