What Time Does Myeong-Dong Sleep?

After having dinner at a pojang-macha, Seung-Ho and I had to  walk off our heavy tummies and continue our search of K-pop 2012 calendars to Myeong-dong.  


My friends in Manila wanted me to get them some calendars of their favorite K-pop stars, but not all of them were available in Namdaemun Market. We had to extend our search in Myeong-dong.

So, even with the chilly temperatures (it was getting late!), we visited a few more K-pop souvenir shops in Myeong-dong.

And although we were unsuccessful in finding the desk calendar, we had fun walking through the shopping alleys of Myeong-dong, which seemed more alive at night than during the day, with all the tourists and street vendors being bathed and mesmerized with all the lights from the shops.

I haven't stayed really late in Myeong-dong to shop, dine or drink.  


But does anyone know what time Myeong-dong actually sleeps?


Here are the photos of Myeong-dong at night:

 (These Korean chestnuts are my favorite! Though quite expensive, only a small pouch for W2,000, they're crunchy and a little bit sweet.)
