jj market is heaving with tourists, mainly Thai and Korean.  Our favourite food stalls had up to 10 ppl queued awaiting service, and that was at 10am.  Silver vans still disgorging more ppl as we finish up and get outta here. 

Hate to see what happens when Cn tourists return but the clothing and novelty stalls are all doing well.

Yes I have seen the same. I recently walked into and then directly out of a golf course and went somewhere else as it was way too swamped with more Koreans than I have ever seen in one place.

Seems high season has already hit or is climbing, and I will cringe when Cn unlocks its gate and good ole CM gets over inundated again which will be inevitable. 

Honestly the amount of tourists here now you can see and feel. Tour busses on the rise everywhere with the vans as you mentioned.
