Moran Market OILJANG (Traditional 5-Day Market)

Today, I went to the Moran Market OILJANG with my kids by bus~

Now that my child is in 3rd grade, they’re learning about local places in our area at school, and Moran Market came up. That must have sparked their curiosity.

The Moran Market OILJANG takes place on days that include a 4 or 9 in the date—
That means the market opens on the 4th, 9th, 14th, 19th, 24th, and 29th of every month!

There’s lots of fun in browsing the stalls that sell household items.

A turtle? Must be a pet, right?

A centipede… ugh… gross, but supposedly good for your health. Still, I don’t think I could eat one—haha.

Whoa! Frogs!? They even sell grilled quail.

There were more fascinating things than I expected, and the market was full of people.
But when it came to the food stalls… I personally couldn’t bring myself to eat there.

Though everyone else seemed to be enjoying the food and the atmosphere, I’m just not quite there yet—so we ended up walking to Subway instead—haha.

Even though we didn’t eat at the market, we still had a great time exploring and enjoying the atmosphere♡

What is this?

Frogs we bought just out of curiosity because the kids were interested—haha.
I didn’t eat any, but my husband gave it a try.

We also got some grilled quail nearby, and our child said it tasted like buffalo wings and really enjoyed it~

I definitely recommend checking out Moran Market with your kids!
