Just north of the city is a huge market called Dordoi. I put off going there for over four months because I knew exactly what would happen:

I love, love, love them!

Samson, who normally is a fan of buying clothing, didn't quite understand when I came back from the US last winter with 7 new pair of shoes. But you get me. I'm happy my feet are usually too big for cute shoes in Korea!

Don't feel too bad, Gwen. I bet my feet are too big for Korean cut shoes, too.

Yes, I totally bought them all. I seriously can never go back to Dordoi. The aisle of shoe stalls is so long that you can't see from one end to the other! Both heaven and hell, all in one place.
