Little Manila: Filipino market in Korea!! / 대학로 필리핀 마켓 방문기

Every Sunday, from morning till afternoon, an exotic Southeast Asian market is open in Daehangno, a university district near central Seoul. About 15 vendors set up green tents along a 100-meter stretch of road between Hyehwa-Dong Catholic Church and Dongsung High School to welcome shoppers.

The market, better known as “Little Manila” is an ethnic enclave where visitors can explore the “real Philippines.”

The Korea Times reporters Lee Min-young and Lee Han-na visited the market to get a taste of the Philippines by trying out various filipino street food and having the chance to talk to Filipinos living in Korea!
