Nighttime shopping in Dongdaemun

This popular area of the city is open until the wee hours of the night. Some of the popular department stores, like Doota, unlike our American equivalent of say a Macy's, contain hundreds of individual designers and merchants.  So each area of the store is operated separately.  Here you can buy fashionable clothes, accessories like hats and jewelry, shoes, eyeglasses that are made in an hour from your prescription, souvenirs. As the evening goes along, it becomes more crowded as people flock to this popular area.
