Thank you Mr. President...

... for giving my husband a day off from work today! We took full advantage of the US Holiday today, and headed into Seoul, specifically the section known as "Insa-dong". I think this part of Seoul was made for ME! I can't believe it's taken me over a year of living here in Korea to FINALLY make it to a part of Seoul that was filled with artsy fartsy people/beautiful handmade creations. I tried to take a bunch of photos...but I'll be honest, it was hard concentrating on that task while taking in everything. There were tons of shops, yummy smelling street food, coffee shops galore, antique shops, and even the "mall" area allowed people to draw/graffiti all the walls on it for fun. When it comes to cute/eclectic things... Koreans have that "down".



I think "Michael" was my favorite from the day...

  5. Karen, I have only been to Insa-dong once, but I really would like to go back because it was so much fun! It is a pretty busy place. Did you try the honey candies? They are yummy, but the entire "making of the candies" process is fun to watch. Glad you were able to experience Insa-dong!

  6. I stillllll haven't been to Insa-dong! I really want to, but every time I get a chance to go into Seoul sans kiddos, I head straight for Dongdaemun!!
