Night Baker – Itaewon, Seoul

Itaewon in Seoul, Korea contains a small Islamic district clustered around a mosque at the top of a hill.  As you walk up the narrow street towards the mosque you pass a cluster of shops selling Islamic food, clothing and other items one might think of being usually associated with people of that faith.

At the time of our visit to Itaewon the call to prayer at dusk had been broadcast.  People were hurrying toward the mosque, passing this baker who was preparing bread for the oven, maybe to be ready for the faithful when they returned from prayer.
