Dongdaemoon Stadium


A shoe store in the underground shopping area.

The stadium.

To the right, where the baseball stadium used to be, is now just an empty dirt lot.

This one is still open.

This is where the baseball stadium used to be.

This one will be demolished next.

Everything that the vendors didn't feel like taking with them was piled up all around the stadium for people to pick through.


Another look out at the baseball stadium. Those shacks have been in the same spot the whole time.


The main entrance to the stadium market was closed off.


There were a few vehicles around for protesting.


Closer to the pile of discarded stuff.


Most parts of the market were being cleared out.

There was one part of the market still open.


It's probably a little too late to be worrying about cleaning.

Lots of shoes.










This isn't for a sex toy. It looks like it's a music thing.







Shopping for a hammer.




There were low prices inside, but the real bargain hunters were in the stadium.




Lots of furniture that could have been worth something.




No, I did not put them like that.

At the far end, where the cleanup crews were working the hardest, there were still a few restaurants open.

In the middle of the abandoned part, this bakery was still open.

Concert posters.

X-rated movies.

The front gate for the main area.


There were lots of restaurants in here.

This used to be a restaurant/bar.

I bought a sympathy beer from this bar.

The woman saw me taking this picture.

I was puzzled about this. It turns out it's for some sort of blow-up doll.

I ran into some other Canadians looking at it.
