A warm, sunny lunchtime in Seoul's most famous market: Namdaemun. Over 10,000 stalls and between 300,000 - 400,00 daily customers (not including up to 70,00 daily tourists). It strikes me that most market soundscapes probably appear quite similar, but what makes each one distinct? For me, its the voices. Here's a selection: I particularly love the three men at the end, singing their wares together in an unconscious chorus. My jet-lagged drawl sounds very out of place in comparison.
