This is Sungnyemun outside of Namdaemun Market in Seoul. As we exited the market we were just in time to see a ceremonial changing of the guard. After the changing of the guard was finished, a tour guide that was helping some Japanese tourists came over and talked with us for a bit. He told us this (also known as Namdaemun or Great South Gate) was designated South Korea's number one national treasure. He also told us a little about Confucianism.

At the market we looked for a watch for me. It was kind of humorous when we approached some of the vendors they would whisper and ask us if we wanted a Rolex, or as i started calling them a "Faux-lex". At first i wasn't sure what they were saying, until a vendor pulled one out to show us. We ended up finding a decent watch and got a pretty good price on it.
