Me either, but you can get one while you're there anyway.
Along this historic (not really) stream there is a large market filled with construction supplies. Here you can find hammers, nails, power tools, hinges, bolts, shackles, chains, and much more.
Need a paintbrush? Need paint? How about an electric-powered hot knife that cuts through foam like butter?
Other than tools you can also find a variety of light bulbs and fixtures, wheels and pulleys, and, my favorite, ridiculously strong magnets.
The great thing about this place is that you can get everything at wholesale prices. There is a language gap, but if you hold out and play a little hardball when haggling, you can get great deals.
The easiest way to get there is on either line 2 or 3, Euljiro 3(sam)ga Station. Head out exit 5 and you're already in the midst of it.
If you really need to do some renovations or just want to window shop, this place is perfect and you could spend all day looking around. If you want to rest after a while, you're right by the stream, so there are plenty of places to go nearby.
One thing to add on here... my friend and I were really excited to go so we could do some work on our apartments. However, upon arriving we found that 95% of the stores were closed... it was Sunday. Don't go on a Sunday because you'll basically waste a day and face disappointment. We will be going back on a Saturday soon to try again! Thanks for the info!
