Out of place relaxation

Sometimes when you mix every day things in Korea you get odd sights.

This little bar/coffee shop is not exactly usual for Korea, but its shiny new look would fit right into many parts of Seoul, like Myeongdon, Gangnam, or most of the university areas. What makes it stand out here is that it is inside Namdaemun market.

Namdaemun Market, like most markets in Korea, does not strive to be pretty. It strives to be efficient at making money, cheaply and with hard work. It's filled with locals looking for something specific, tourist who get in the way as they stand, and stare and vendors watching people walk by, hoping for some patronage. It is not exactly a place where you expect to see something that looks like it belongs on a beach in, I don't know, Spain.

This idea is actually very interesting and space efficient. It would be interesting to see if it takes of.
