Since I only saw Namdaemon Market at night, Jungbu Market was different than any market I’ve seen so far. I loved taking photos of all the dried goods I saw there. It is not a very big market and many vendors sell the same things.
The way the fish are tied up is so interesting. It reminds me of crocheting.
Dried nuts.
Dried fish.
Baby dried fish.
Huge bags of snacks. How many movies would it take to finish that bag of popcorn?
Meat that is not dried.
Dried seaweed. They had so many bags in the back, I couldn’t count them all.
Dried fish head.
I’ve never seen fish so dried out. They look like they were starving the desert and then dried up. Seriously, there must be no meat on these fish. They look like skin and bones.
Dried octopus.
I don’t know what this is, but I liked how they were held together packaged with string. I think it might be a kind of seaweed.
This is Ginseng. I would have had no idea what it was if my mother didn’t tell me.
I think these are noodles in garbage bags. Anyway, they look like vermicelli.
Dried lantern flowers.
My father pointed out the drain holes for the market stall canopy on rainy days.
Manning a market stall doesn’t seem so bad. Dried fish doesn’t stink like fresh ones. Regular customers, daily market gossip, a heater and a tv in a cozy space. That’s all you need!
I have noticed this recycled cloth being used often in the markets. It can be put under merchandise or used as a mat on the floor. It is nice to know that old cloth can be used like this instead of thrown out.
